摘要
This study investigated various properties of SiO2 films deposited using SiH4 and tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) at a frequency of 400 kHz in plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) at 100 degrees C. The TEOS-SiO2 film exhibited a higher refractive index and density than the SiH4-SiO2 film. Electron spin resonance measurements at -180 degrees C revealed fewer structural defects in TEOS-SiO2, while atomic force microscopy showed smoother surface morphology in TEOS-SiO2 compared to SiH4-SiO2. These differences are attributed to the surface-mediated growth mechanism of TEOS compared to the gas-phase-dominated reactions of SiH4. These results demonstrate that TEOS-PECVD at 400 kHz is a promising technique for forming high-quality SiO2 films at low temperatures. (c) 2025 The Japan Society of Applied Physics.
