Abstract
In view of applications of SiOxNy thin films in MOEMS technology, a study the optomechanical characteristics of this material PECVD deposited are investigated. To optimize the quality of SiOxNy layers we establish the relationship between the chemical properties, optical performances, micromechanical stress, and growth parameters of deposited films. To use the SiOxNy thin film for the core layer of a strip-loaded waveguide, we propose preparation conditions of SiOxNy that offers a low-loss optical waveguide with well-controlled refractive index, based on a low-internal stress multilayer structure .
