Abstract (en)

[origin: CA3168436A1] The present application relates to a method for producing an electro-optical device, in particular a photodetector (6) or an electro-optical modulator (6), wherein a waveguide (3) is provided (S1), a planarization layer (7) extending over at least one section of the waveguide (3) is produced (S2), preferably, by a procedure in which a coating material is applied, the planarization layer (7) is provided (S3) with a spin-on glass coating (9), a preferably dry-chemical etching treatment is effected at least in the region of the spin-on glass coating (9), optionally the steps of providing the planarization layer (7) with a spin-on glass coating (9) and etching treatment are repeated (S5, S6) at least once, and on or above the planarization layer (7) and above the waveguide (3) an active element (10) is provided (S7), which comprises at least one material or consists of at least one material which absorbs electromagnetic radiation of at least one wavelength and generates an electrical photosignal on account of the absorption, and/or the refractive index of which changes depending on a voltage and/or the presence of charge(s) and/or an electric field.
