Abstract:
A method for depositing silicon oxynitride film structures is provided that is used to form planar waveguides. These film structures are deposited on substrates and the combination of the substrate and the planar waveguide is used in the formation of optical interposers and subassemblies. The silicon oxynitride film structures are deposited using low thermal budget processes and hydrogen-free oxygen and hydrogen-free nitrogen precursors to produce planar waveguides that exhibit low losses for optical signals transmitted through the waveguide of 1 dB/cm or less. The silicon oxynitride film structures and substrate exhibit low stress levels of less than 20 MPa.

Claim (Index 3):
A method as in  claim 1 wherein ratios of process gases are configured to achieve the silicon oxynitride films having a stoichiometry of silicon, oxygen and nitrogen that exhibits an index of refraction between 1.6 and 2.05.
