Paper Abstract
We have deposited silicon nitride (SiNx) films by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) at 270 degree(s)C. Films are prepared by using silane (SiH4) and ammonia (NH3) source gases with hydrogen (H2) or nitrogen (N2) dilution. The film properties, including N/Si atomic ratio, hydrogen content, and the etching rate in 5% buffered HF are sensitive to the changes in dilution gases (H2 or N2) flow rate during deposition. For films with N/Si equals 1.33 (calculated by Rutherford backscattering, RBS); refractive index ((lambda) equals 6328 A) equals 2.0; hydrogen content equals 13% (calculated by Fourier transform infrared spectrometer, FTIR); and the etching rate in 5% buffered HF less than 50 A/min were achieved. In addition, the deposition rate of SiNx films were dropped dramatically by adding dilution gases, especially with H2 (from 4 A/sec to 1 A/sec). 3- inch 92,000 pixel elements a-Si:H TFT arrays with pre-mentioned high-quality SiNx films as gate insulators have been manufactured. The interlayer short defects of the a-Si:H TFT matrix arrays can be reduced to 3 points by adding dilution gas.
