Abstract

A method of making a photonic device includes depositing a cladding layer over a silicon layer. The method further includes patterning the cladding layer to expose a first portion of the silicon layer, wherein a second portion of the silicon layer is covered by the patterned cladding layer, and a waveguide portion is in the second portion of the silicon layer. The method further includes depositing a low refractive index layer directly over the patterned cladding layer, wherein a refractive index of the low refractive index layer is less than a refractive index of silicon nitride.
