We propose a three-dimensional photonic crystal structure having a wide ful
l photonic band gap in the optical regime, which can be fabricated by an al
ternating-layer deposition and etching (drilling) process. This fabrication
process is much simpler than that previously reported. The combination of
current lithographic technology and autocloning bias-sputtering deposition
is a promising way of realizing these photonic crystals. (C) 2000 American
