Abstract

Structures including a waveguide core and methods of fabricating a structure that includes a waveguide core. A dielectric layer including a trench with a first sidewall and a second sidewall, and a waveguide core positioned inside the trench between the first and second sidewalls of the trench. The waveguide core has a first width, and the trench has a second width between the first and second sidewalls that is greater than the first width.
