摘要
Deposition of silicon nitride films on Si by rf sputtering of a silicon nitride target in argon has been investigated. Deposition parameters, such as sputtering power and gas pressure, have been studied in connection with film stress. The silicon nitride film stress data are interpreted in terms of structural and density changes, which influence the stress type during rapid thermal annealing (RTA). To our knowledge this influence on the mechanical stress in Si3N4 films has not been previously investigated.
