ABSTRACT:
An integrated optoelectrical circuit is described. An apparatus and method are disclosed whereby planar optical waveguides are formed on Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, other ceramics, silicon, silica, and other glass substrates that are thin film wired. An interface coating of silicon or silicon dioxide is applied to a surface of the thin film wired substrates using a low temperature deposition process such as sputtering or chemical vapor deposition. Glass cladding and core layers are deposited onto the thin film coating using a flame hydrolysis deposition technique. With this invention, channel waveguides and integrated optical circuits can be formed on a common substrate with electronic IC chips.
