Abstract

The negative epoxy-based polymer photoresist SU8 was used in a lot of applications in the last years because it presents very good properties and is easy to be used in microsystem technology. This paper presents design, simulations and manufacturing of SU8–based optical waveguides photonic integrated circuits, and the possibility to integrate them on the same silicon platform with sensing elements and optoelectronic devices..
