Photonic band gap and defects modes in inorganic/organic photonic crystal based on Si and HMDSO layers deposited by sputtering and PECVD
2018
Abstract Hybrid inorganic/organic one dimensional photonic crystal based on alternating layers of Si/HMDSO is elaborated. The inorganic silicon is deposited by radiofrequency magnetron sputtering and the organic HMDSO is deposited by PECVD technique. As the Si refractive index is n = 3.4, and the refractive index of HMDSO layer depend on the deposition conditions, to get a photonic crystal with high and low refractive index presenting a good contrast, we have varied the radiofrequency power of PECVD process to obtain HMDSO layer with low refractive index (n = 1.45). Photonic band gap of this hybrid structure is obtained from the transmission and reflection spectra and appears after 9 alternative layers of Si/HMDSO. The introduction of defects in our photonic crystal leads to the emergence of localized modes within the photonic band gap. Our results are interpreted by using a theoretical model based on transfer matrix.
