摘要
Silicon carbon nitride (SiCN) films were deposited by hot-wire chemical vapor deposition using hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) as the single source gas diluted in ammonia (NH3) and hydrogen (H-2 ) gas mixtures. The chemical composition of the SiCN films was controlled by adjusting the NH3/H-2 flow rate ratio. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurements revealed that the carbon and nitrogen contents of the films were controllable from 10 to 35 at.%, while the silicon content remained almost constant at 45 at. 0 /0. Although the homogeneity of the SiCN films deposited using HMDS diluted only with H-2 degraded with increasing stage temperature from 400 to 800 degrees C, it was improved by replacing H-2 with NH3 . Upon introducing NH3 , the nitrogen content increased as carbon content decreased accompanied by the replacement of Si-C and C-C bonds by Si-N, N-H, and C-H bonds, which led to the deterioration of the mechanical properties of the SiCN films.
