Abstract

A method of forming an optical device is provided. The method includes disposing an optical device substrate on a substrate support in a process volume of a process chamber, the optical device substrate having a first surface; and forming a first optical layer on the first surface of the optical device substrate during a first time period when the optical device substrate is on the substrate support, wherein the first optical layer comprises one or more metals in a metal-containing oxide, a metal-containing nitride, or a metal-containing oxynitride, and the first optical layer is formed without an RF-generated plasma over the optical device substrate; and forming a second optical layer with an RF-generated plasma over the first optical layer during a second time period when the optical device substrate is on the substrate support.
