We present and compare two methods for fabricating grating structures for photonic integrated circuits. The first method uses a two-step electron beam lithography (EBL) and dry etch process, while the second uses direct milling of the grating structures using focused ion beam (FIB) nanofabrication. In both cases 1st order periodic structures with a pitch of 238 nm were successfully positioned adjacent to the ridge waveguide. Using the EBL method, a final grating depth of 10 nm was observed with an estimated coupling coefficient of 40 cm-1. Direct milling using FIB provided grating features milled to a depth of up to 350 nm, achieving maximum coupling strengths of over 200 cm-1.
