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 1):
A waveguide structure comprising:\n a substrate; a dielectric layer over the substrate, the dielectric layer comprising a light-transmissive material, the dielectric layer having a first surface facing towards the substrate and a second surface facing away from the substrate; a plurality of first metal features extending from the first surface of the dielectric layer to the second surface of the dielectric layer, the first metal features having a first pitch; and a plurality of second metal features extending from the first surface of the dielectric layer to the second surface of the dielectric layer, the second metal features having a second pitch, the second pitch being different from the first pitch.
