CF4 plasma etching was applied to LiNbO3. Ridge structures as thin as 3 μm were fabricated. The resolution was limited by photolithography Al masks. The etched surface showed an optical quality. A horn structure ridge channel wave guide of a width of 20 μm was also etched, and demonstrated good quality in guiding optical waves.
