Abstract

We have developed a new microfabrication technique for the construction of three-dimensional photonic crystals. In particular, we used multiple tilted x-ray lithography exposures in order to construct structures with photonic band gaps in the infrared region. First polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) resist layers with a thickness of 500 μm were irradiated, then the holes in the resist structure were filled with preceramic polymer and subsequent pyrolysis converts the preceramic polymer into a SiCN ceramic. Theoretical results with fitted values of the dielectric constant are in good agreement with the transmission measurements.
