摘要 |
The invention relates to a process of production of integrated optical components on a substrate making it possible to combine microguides, separating plates, lenses, diopters. The process consists, for this purpose, in producing a first mask having patterns of given shapes and sizes; performing an anisotropic etching of the substrate not protected by the mask to obtain cavities (20) with vertical walls; eliminating the mask; performing a thermal oxidation of the vertical walls to constitute barrier layers (31) and the mask being used for the etching of the main phase, then in producing a mask (12) having patterns of given shapes and sizes; performing an etching of the substrate not protected by the mask to obtain at least one cavity (13) of desired shape; performing a thermal oxidation to form a peripheral layer (15, 16a, 16, 16c) of given thickness on a part or over the entire inside surface of the cavities; performing a filling (17, 18) of the cavities by a suitable material.
