Ultra-low-loss high-aspect-ratio Si_3N_4 waveguides
Open accessAbstract
We characterize an approach to make ultra-low-loss waveguides using stable and reproducible stoichiometric Si3N4 deposited with low-pressure chemical vapor deposition. Using a high-aspect-ratio core geometry, record low losses of 8-9 dB/m for a 0.5 mm bend radius down to 3 dB/m for a 2 mm bend radius are measured with ring resonator and optical frequency domain reflectometry techniques. From a waveguide loss model that agrees well with experimental results, we project that 0.1 dB/m total propagation loss is achievable at a 7 mm bend radius with this approach.

SiN waveguides can have lower scattering losses from sidewall roughness than Si waveguides.
“Also, SiN waveguides can have lower scattering losses from sidewall roughness in comparison to Si waveguides [27,28].”
From Integrated 1 × 3 MEMS silicon nitride photonics switch (2022) · cites this paper as [28]
The Introduction says sidewall scattering in Si₃N₄ waveguides can be minimized with a high-aspect-ratio core, and Section 2.3 models the resulting reduction. Section 4 compares overall propagation losses with other waveguides, including a silicon-on-insulator example, but does not establish that the sidewall-roughness scattering component is lower in Si₃N₄ than in silicon waveguides.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
