Abstract
This invention concerns the joinder of optical waveguide structures and their substrates, methods for joining, attaching or connecting the waveguide structures, and/or materials which can be utilized for constructing such attachments or connections. The invention is also directed to the attachment of alternative silicon and germanium based optical components, methods for making the attachment, and materials utilized to produce the attachment.
Claims13
A method for attaching a silicon based optical component to a substrate comprising the steps of:
- a) preparing a carboxylated silicone precursor composition;
- b) applying the carboxylated silicone precursor composition to an interface surface between a silicon based optical component and a substrate to form an interface precursor film;
- and,
- c) thermally oxidizing the precursor film thereby attaching the optical component to the substrate.
