Abstract

We describe the wafer-level fabrication of cesium vapor cells by evaporation and photolysis of cesium azide for chip-scale atomic devices. The advantage is that, unlike existing cell-fabrication methods which require fluid handling devices for filling individual and separately fabricated cells, here the filling step itself is done by thin-film deposition and thus integrated monolithically with the rest of the fabrication process.
