We describe the fabrication process of a two-dimensional silicon-based photonic crystal (PC) slab with partial air-bridge, which has a photonic band gap in the near-IR range. The process involves the formation of the air-bridge silicon slab by wet etching and the fabrication of periodic air holes by a focused ion beam. We successfully obtained such a sample and measured its transmission in a wide spectrum. It is found that the observed spectrum is consistent with the theoretical values calculated by the plane wave expansion method. The TM0-like modes reduce the size of the band gap, and the partial air bridge is beneficial to the fabrication of large PC slabs. Meanwhile, it is possible to draw light out from the supporting material of the air bridge.
