ABSTRACT:
A method for forming a semiconductor waveguide includes forming a layer of expitaxial silicon (12) over a substrate (10). The impurity concentration of the layer (12) is higher than that of the substrate (10). A second layer (14) of epitaxial silicon is disposed over the upper surface of the layer (12) with a higher resistivity than that of the substrate (10). A masking layer (16) is then disposed over the substrate and then patterned, and then the layer (14) selectively etched down to the upper surface of the layer (12). The layer (12)) is then porified to form an insulating layer (12') from the layer (12). The porous film is then converted by oxidation to a silicon dioxide layer (13). The sidewalls of the resulting ridge (14) are then oxidized to form sidewall layers (13') and then the masking layer (16) removed from the upper layer. The upper surface of ridge (14) is oxidized to form an upper insulating layer to extend the sidewall layer (13') over the entire upper surface and sidewalls of the ridge (14). A layer (18) of insulating material is then disposed over the substrate.
