THERMAL DEPOSITION -Tystar Tytan 4-Tube Furnace Stack • Tube 1: Wet/Dry Oxidation, H2 torch • Tube 2: Solid Source Diffusion (Boron), oxidation • Tube 3: Si3N4 and Low Stress SiNx LPCVD (DCS and NH3) • Tube 4: Low Temp. Oxide (LTO) Polysilicon LPCVD
Stress and Index of Refraction vs Dichlorosilane/Ammonia Flow Ratio • Stress is intrinsic - due to shrinkage during/after growth • Stress not a function of thickness • Main growth parameters are DCS/NH3 ratio, growth temperature and growth pressure Sekimoto et al., JVST 21(4) 1982 Gardeniers et al., JVSTa 14(5) 1996
Low Stress Silicon Nitride • Recipe 100 sccm Dichlorosilane 17 sccm Ammonia 835 °C, 250 mT • Growth Rate 5.7 nm/min • Index of refraction, n ~ 2.23 - 2.3 • Residual Stress
