Structural, optical, and mechanical properties of silicon nitride films deposited by inductively coupled plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition
In this study, a low-temperature and low-pressure SiNx film deposition on InP substrates is investigated using inductively coupled plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (ICPECVD) technology. We discuss herein the results of an extensive characterization of structural and mechanical properties of the ICPECVD-SiNx films.
