Abstract

SiO$_2$ and SiON thick films were deposited by Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) technique on silicon wafer (100) using SiH$_4$ and $N_2$O as precursor gases. In this work, the influence of rf power, and rf bias power on the optical and physical properties of SiO$_2$ and SiON thick films is presented. The refractive index decreases with increasing rf power, and rf bias power. The refractive index of the films varied from 1.4493 to 1.4952 at wavelength at 1552 nm, with increasing rf power, the nitrogen content decreases while the oxygen content increases, in a manner that the O/N ratio increases approximately linearly.

플라즈마 화학기상증착(PECVD)법을 이용하여 Si(100) 웨이퍼에 silicon oxide(SiO$_2$)와 silicon oxynitride(SiON) 후막을 SiH$_4$, $N_2$O, $N_2$가스를 혼합하여 증착하였다. RF power와 rf bias power의 변화에 따른 SiO$_2$ 막과 SiON 막의 특성변화에 대하여 고찰하였다. RF power와 rf bias power가 증가함에 따라 굴절률은 감소하는 경향을 나타내었으며, 막의 굴절률은 1552 nm에서 1.4493-1.4952까지 변화하였다. 이와 같이 rf power가 증가함에 따라 굴절률이 감소하는 이유는 oxygen의 량이 증가하고 nitrogen의 량이 감소하여 즉, O/N 비가 증가하여 굴절률이 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다.
