Abstract

Optical channel waveguides with single-mode dimensions have been fabricated using a photodefinablepolymer system based on the benzocyclobutene resin and a bisarylazide photo-crosslinking agent. This photopolymer offers a simple technique for fabricating optical interconnects in multi-chip modules. The processingconditions and developer selection required for the fabrication of benzocyclobutene optical waveguides is presented.With the losses in the waveguide typically less than 1 dB/cm, this material system is suitable for use in a variety ofoptical interconnect problems.
