| Research Abstract |
Hydrogen annealing characteristics depending on the condition was quantitatively evaluated. By applying spatial frequency analysis, after the hydrogen annealing, it was found that the roughen surfaces with the short-period was smoothed well compared to that with the long-period.
Electrostatic comb actuators and Si waveguides, which were fabricated from silicon on insulator (SOI)substrates, were annealed in the hydrogen gas environment. By decreasing the annealing temperature to about 900 deg. C, the surface roughness was eliminated, while the large scale structural shapes were maintained.
Micro-resonators consisting of ring-resonators and electrostatic comb actuators were fabricated. Then, the surface roughness was eliminated successfully.
