A 3D micro optical switching system (3D-MOSS) is fabricated by dividing an
optical switching system into several blocks, creating optoelectronic
layers where optical switches or tunable filters in each block are
disposed, laminating the optoelectronic layers by connecting the layers
with optical connections. The fabrication process includes a first step
of selectively exposing an adhesive bond whose adhesive strength changes
by exposure, a second step of contacting the selectively-exposed adhesive
bond with a thin-film device array on a first substrate, and a third step
of selectively ring part of thin-film devices in the thin-film device
array from the first substrate onto the selectively-exposed adhesive bond
in accordance with an exposure pattern.
