摘要
Amorphous silicon-nitrogen (a-Si1-xNx:H) alloys deposited by ultra high vacuum plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) have been characterized by X-ray reflectivity (XRR) measurements in order to investigate their structural properties. From the analysis of XRR data, the thickness, density, interface and surface roughness of the films have been evaluated. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
