Waveguide sidewall roughness measurement on full wafers by SEM‐based stereoscopy

Summary We present a technique aiming at sidewall roughness measurement on integrated optical silica waveguides using a scanning electron microscope. The technique uses the principles of stereoscopy to retrieve sidewall topography. Practical implementation details and first results are provided.
