摘要: An optical switch having an insulator under a heater element is disclosed. The reduces the heat loss thereby making more efficient. fabricated embedded in underlying substrate on which and intersection are fabricated. A method of fabricating trench etched filled with oxide or other suitable insulating material. Then, above insulator.
