ABSTRACTThe properties of Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposited (PECVD) silicon oxynitride thin films were determined for a variety of deposition conditions. The films were characterized with respect to stress, refractive index, deposition rate, hydrogen content, dielectric constant, and uniformity. The films were deposited in an Electrotech ND6200 parallel plate reactor using a silane - ammonia - nitrous oxide process gas chemistry. Deposition parameters which were investigated include process gas flow rate, power, and total pressure. The possible application of these films as both inter-layer and final passivation layers for use on GaAs ICs will be discussed.

Recently, plasma-less gaseous etching processes have attracted attention for their interesting etching properties. Previously, we reported on the etching properties of theses processes for various kinds of oxides and revealed that they reduce the etch rate of the chemical-vapor-deposited (CVD) oxides more than the conventional wet etching process does [1]. Our results also revealed that depressions called divots in the CVD oxide of the shallow trench isolation (STI) became smaller in size by substituting a plasma-less gaseous etching process for the conventional wet etching process. In semiconductor manufacturing, many processes are used to remove oxides damaged during ion implantation or reactive ion etching on the device surface. Therefore, it is very important to understand the etching properties of plasma-less gaseous etching processes for damaged oxides as well as those for other kinds of oxides. In this report, we evaluate the etching properties of one particular plasma-less gaseous etching process for oxide films damaged during the ion implantation process under various conditions and discuss the mechanism of interesting etching properties for the damaged oxides.
