Abstract(in English) To realize a densely integrated optical circuit, we have developed a process to bury high index contrast waveguides with perfectly flat upper cladding. In this process, however, their radiation loss of microring resonator increases due to the decrease of index contrast. To solve this problem, in this study we propose a buried air (vacuum) structure and develop the process to realize this structure using RF sputtering deposition. We fabricated some microring resonators using this process and successfully observed a clear filter response by the device with the ring radius of 5μm In addition, we fabricated two different types of structures, one is buried by SiO_2 cladding and the other has buried air (vacuum) cladding structure, and compared the filter responses. Then a narrow bandwidth of drop port response and a deep drop of through port response were observed by the device with buried air (vacuum) cladding structure, and the propagation loss in the microring was evaluated to be reduced to one tenth of that of the conventional buried structure.
