Abstract:
A method of making a grating in a waveguide includes forming a waveguide material over a substrate, the waveguide material having a thickness less than or equal to about 100 nanometers (nm). The method further includes forming a photoresist over the waveguide material and patterning the photoresist. The method further includes forming a first set of openings in the waveguide material through the patterned substrate and filling the first set of openings with a metal material.

Claim (Index 11):
A waveguide structure comprising:\n a substrate; a dielectric layer over the substrate, the dielectric layer comprising a light-transmissive material; and a plurality of metal features extending into the dielectric layer from a top surface of the dielectric layer by a first distance, top surfaces of the metal features being planar with the top surface of the dielectric layer, wherein a first subset of the metal features repeat with a first period, a second subset of the metal features repeat with a second period, and the second period is less than the first period, wherein the first subset of the metal features are adjacent one another, and the second subset of the metal features are adjacent one another.
