Product Description of PLC Wafer

Based on Planar Lightwave Circuit technologies, PLC splitter wafers are produced on the quartz substrate through a series of processes including CVD deposition, photo-masking, etching, etc. PLC splitter wafers can be designed for 1x2, 1x4, 1x8, 1x16, 1x32, 1x64 and 2xN. Splitter chips with high yield, quality and reliability, are made of PLC wafers through dicing and polishing.

Technology and Crafts

The processes for the PLC splitter wafers include CVD deposition on the substrate, photo-masking, developing, and etching to form the pattern of waveguide circuit, and finally an upper cladding film is deposited to protect the waveguide.
