Abstract
A reflective semiconductor device includes an integrated circuit (IC) structure, and a pair of mirror elements over the IC structure. The pair of mirror elements are separated by a trench. Each mirror element includes a mirror layer of, for example, aluminum, on the IC structure, and a low temperature oxide (LTO) layer on the mirror layer. A high temperature oxide (HTO) layer is over the pair of mirror elements and fills the trench. A liquid crystal layer over the mirror elements provides a liquid crystal on semiconductor (LCOS) device. The two-oxide layer prevents mirror layer creep and/or agglomeration during formation of the HTO layer and provide a suitable surface for LCOS assembly without using specialized alloys.
