Abstract:
Silicon nitride (SiNx) thin films were deposited by low frequency (LF) plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) technology. By systematic variation of the process parameters, e.g. reactive gas flow rate, LF power, chamber gas pressure and substrate temperature. Influences of above parameters on the intrinsic stress of SiNx films were studied and analyzed by combining with the measured refractive index (RI), density, infrared spectra results of deposited SiNx films. The results showed that intrinsic stress of SiNx film was roughly proportional to film density, which was inversely proportional to hydrogen content in the SiNx film. Substrate temperature during deposition was the most important factor affecting hydrogen content in deposited film and, accordingly, the density and intrinsic stress of SiNx film. © 2010 Copyright SPIE - The International Society for Optical Engineering.
