An electrooptic device and method for making the same, including one or more of substrate, a buffer layer, a charge dissipation layer, and electrodes. An F- containing active trapping layer is deposited at the substrate/buffer interface, within the buffer layer, and/or on top of the buffer layer. The active F- ions in the F- containing active trapping layer react with positive ions, such as Li+ from the substrate to form stable compounds such as LiF. Porous material such as carbon nanotubes may be used in place of or in addition to the F- containing active trapping layer. The reduced number of Li+ ions reduces the DC drift of the associated electrooptic device. The profile of the implanted ions may be adjusted to control and/or optimize the properties of the electrooptic device. Fluorine is particularly advantageous because it also lowers the dielectric constant thereby facilitating higher frequency operation.
