We report the design and fabrication of a compact angled multimode interferometer (AMMI) on a 600 nm thick N-rich silicon nitride platform (n = 1.92) optimized to match the International Telecommunication Union coarse wavelength division (de)multiplexing standard in the O telecommunication band. The demonstrated device exhibited a good spectral response with Delta lambda = 20 nm, BW3dB similar to 11 nm, IL < 1.5 dB, and XT similar to 20 dB. Additionally, it showed a high tolerance to dimensional errors < 120 pm/nm and low sensitivity to temperature variations < 20 pm/degrees C, respectively. This device had a footprint of 0.02 mm x 1.7 mmwith the advantage of a simple design and a back-end-of-line compatible fabrication process that enables multilayer integration schemes due to its processing temperature
