Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain an optical device by coating a light waveguide core on a glass substrate with a cladding film followed by annealing in an oxygen-contg. atmosphere to improve level difference coatability to reduce the refractive index difference between the glass substrate and cladding film. CONSTITUTION:A core film b is first formed by sputtering technique on a glass substrate a using, as target, a material consisting mainly of SiO2 and containing a dopant such as GeO2 or TiO2 followed by annealing in an oxygen-contg. atmosphere at 600-1300 deg.C. Then, an unnecessary portion of the core film b is eliminated by photoetching to form a light waveguide core film b. Subsequently, a cladding film c is formed on the substrate a by CVD technique using, as target, a material having the same component as that of the substrate a followed by annealing in an oxygen-contg. atmosphere at 600-1300 deg.C.

By the way, as described above, when the cladding film c is formed by the PVD technique such as the sputtering method, the core film for optical waveguide is already etched on the glass substrate a. There is a level difference, but if there is such a level difference, it is difficult for the level difference part to be vapor-deposited when the target to be the cladding glass film is vapor-deposited.
(The so-called step coverage is poor), and inconsistencies such as the formation of fine voids occur, which deteriorates the product quality.

When the PVD clad film is manufactured, the target is etched and scattered, so that the main component of the scattered target is SiO 2.
Oxygen inside is deprived and so-called oxygen deficiency occurs. Then, since oxygen-deficient SiOx (where x <2) is vapor-deposited on the glass substrate, the resulting cladding film does not match the desired refractive index value. As described above, when the refractive index of the clad film does not match the refractive index of the glass substrate, there arises a problem that the propagation mode of light changes.

First, a raw material containing a dopant such as GeO 2 or TiO 2 for mainly increasing the refractive index of SiO 2 as a target is used as a target, and this target is vapor-deposited on the glass substrate by a sputtering method.
The core film b is uniformly formed on the a (step).

Next, an annealing treatment is applied to the glass substrate a on which the core film b is uniformly formed (step). As the conditions of this annealing treatment, it is necessary to perform it in an atmosphere containing oxygen (for example, in the air), and the temperature is 600 ° C to
A range of 1300 ° C is suitable. The reason is that recovery of oxygen vacancies becomes insufficient when the annealing temperature is 600 ° C. or lower, and peeling occurs when the vapor-deposited core film b produces fine cracks at 1300 ° C. or higher.
