Abstract:

The deposition of thin films by Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) method is a critical process in the fabrication of MEMS or semiconductor devices. The current paper presents an comprehensive overview of PECVD process. After a short description of the PECVD reactors main layers and their application such as silicon oxide, TEOS, silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride, silicon carbide, amorphous silicon, diamond like carbon are presented. The influence of the process parameters such as: chamber pressure, substrate temperature, mass flow rate, RF Power and RF Power mode on deposition rate, film thickness uniformity, refractive index uniformity and film stress were analysed. The main challenge of thin films PECVD deposition for Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS)and semiconductor devices is to optimize the deposition parameters for high deposition rate with low film stress which and if is possible at low deposition temperature.

Abstract:

We report work progress on the growth of Si quantum dots in different matrices for future photovoltaic applications. The work reported here seeks to engineer a wide-bandgap silicon-based thin-film material by using quantum confinement in silicon quantum dots and to utilize this in complete thin-film silicon-based tandem cell, without the constraints of lattice matching, but which nonetheless gives an enhanced efficiency through the increased spectral collection efficiency. Coherent-sized quantum dots, dispersed in a matrix of silicon carbide, nitride, or oxide, were fabricated by precipitation of Si-rich material deposited by reactive sputtering or PECVD. Bandgap opening of Si QDs in nitride is more blue-shifted than that of Si QD in oxide, while clear evidence of quantum confinement in Si quantum dots in carbide was hard to obtain, probably due to many surface and defect states. The PL decay shows that the lifetimes vary from 10 to 70 microseconds for diameter of 3.4 nm dot with increasing detection wavelength.

Abstract:

Silicon carbon nitride (SiCN) ternary compounds present remarkable mechanical strength, bandgap tunability, optical responsivity in the UV region, and dielectric performance in microelectronics due to the combined features of silicon nitride (SiN), silicon carbide (SiC), and carbonitride (CN) [1]. The SiCN compounds can be formed using fabrication methods such as physical vapor deposition (PVD), chemical vapor deposition (CVD), and chemical synthesis. Successful SiCN thin films fabricated with different techniques and their characteristics have been reported extensively in the literature; however, the influence of hydrocarbon gas precursors has not drawn the same amount of attention for SiCN. Chemical, physical, and mechanical properties of thin films are determined by the growth parameters and the choice of sources used, like the organic single-molecule (methylsilazanes) or highly pure individual gas precursors [2,3]. The chemical vapor deposition systems mainly affect the energy of bombarding ions. Plasma-enhanced CVD has been commonly used for thin-film depositions since it provides low deposition temperature, high purity, good step coverage, and easy control of reaction parameters. Our work focuses on the electron-cyclotron resonance plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (ECR PECVD) method to fabricate SiCN thin films. This method differs from other PECVD methods because it can generate a dense, highly ionized plasma (1011 ions/cm3) and ion impingement energies on the substrate as low as 20 eV [4]. A combination of argon diluted silane (SiH4) and molecular nitrogen (N2) are utilized. For carbon incorporation, we explored the influence of methane (CH4), acetylene (C2H2), and ethane (C2H6) hydrocarbon gas precursors on SiCN thin film properties. The stoichiometry, density of the thin film, optical constants, and the bonding structure of SiCN thin films as a function of hydrocarbon carbon flow rates are presented. Due to the hydrogen-containing precursors used, the silicon carbonitride films deposited by CVD methods contain a significant amount of hydrogen (H), lowest for C2H2 and highest for C2H6. Nearly stoichiometric silicon nitride and silicon carbide thin films were also prepared to interpret the measurements further. From Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS) and elastic recoil detection (ERD) analysis, quantitative elemental composition distributions including H were found for films deposited with both carbon sources. For further investigation of the bonding structure of SiCN, Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy was performed. Furthermore, we studied the hardness and Young’s modulus by nanoindentation, and optical constants were measured by variable angle spectroscopic ellipsometry (VASE). [1] C.W. Chen, C.C. Huang, Y.Y.

Abstract:

Digital silicon carbide integrated circuits provide enhanced functionality for electronics in geothermal, aircraft and other high temperature applications. A multilayer thin film substrate technology has been developed to interconnect multiple SiC devices along with passive components. The conductor is vacuum deposited Ti/Ti:W/Au followed by an electroplated Au. A PECVD silicon nitride is used for the interlayer dielectric. Adhesion testing of the conductor and the dielectric was performed as deposited and after aging at 320°C. The electrical characteristics of the dielectric as a function of temperature were measured. Thermocompression flip chip bonding of Au stud bumped SiC die was used for electrical connection of the digital die to the thin film substrate metallization. Since polymer underfills are not compatible with 300°C operation, AlN was used as the base ceramic substrate to minimize the coefficient of thermal expansion mismatch between the SiC die and the substrate. Initial die shear results are presented.

Abstract:

Many strategies have been developed for the synthesis of silicon carbide (SiC) thin films on silicon (Si) substrates by plasma-based deposition techniques, especially plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) and magnetron sputtering, due to the importance of these materials for microelectronics and related fields. A drawback is the large lattice mismatch between SiC and Si. The insertion of an aluminum nitride (AlN) intermediate layer between them has been shown useful to overcome this problem. Herein, the high-power impulse magnetron sputtering (HiPIMS) technique was used to grow SiC thin films on AlN/Si substrates. Furthermore, SiC films were also grown on Si substrates. A comparison of the structural and chemical properties of SiC thin films grown on the two types of substrate allowed us to evaluate the influence of the AlN layer on such properties. The chemical composition and stoichiometry of the samples were investigated by Rutherford backscattering spectrometry (RBS) and Raman spectroscopy, while the crystallinity was characterized by grazing incidence X-ray diffraction (GIXRD). Our set of results evidenced the versatility of the HiPIMS technique to produce polycrystalline SiC thin films at near-room temperature by only varying the discharge power. In addition, this study opens up a feasible route for the deposition of crystalline SiC films with good structural quality using an AlN intermediate layer.

Abstract:

The passivation process is of significant importance to produce high-efficiency black silicon solar cell due to its unique microstructure. The black silicon has been produced by plasma immersion ion implantation (PIII) process. And the Silicon nitride films were deposited by inline plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) to be used as the passivation layer for black silicon solar cell. The microstructure and physical properties of silicon nitride films were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), spectroscopic ellipsometry, and the microwave photoconductance decay (μ-PCD) method. With optimizing the PECVD parameters, the conversion efficiency of black silicon solar cell can reach as high as 16.25%.

Abstract:

Si3N4/SiC nanocomposites have been shown to exhibit excellent strength and fracture toughness compared to monolithic Si3N4 materials. Recently, the microstructure and chemistry of Si3N4-based nanocomposites fabricated by hot-pressing amorphous Si-C-N precursor powders has been investigated. In the present work, our studies on the microstructure of Si3N4/SiC nanocomposites made by hot-pressing the mixture of Si3N4 and SiC commercial powders are reported.Si3N4/SiC nanocomposites were prepared by hot-pressing at 1750 °C for 1 hour at 40 Mpa in a nitrogen atmosphere, with sintering aids of 5.5 wt% Y2O3 and 3 wt% Al2O3. The details of the processing procedure have been reported elsewhere. Two different materials were investigated in this work: specimen A consisting of 5 vol% β-SiC; and specimen B consisting of 5 vol% α-SiC. TEM specimens were prepared by conventional procedures. The microstructure and chemical composition were studied in the University of Michigan Electron Microbeam Analysis Laboratory on a JEOL 2000FX.

A first result of realization of silicon nitride templates on 100mm silicon wafer as nanoinprint mold using simple wet etching method is reported in this paper. The process is based on traditional photolithograph and following buffer HF wet etching, which started from a p-type wafer with 400nm thermal silicon oxide, 200nm PECVD silicon nitride and 400nm PECVD silicon oxide sandwich layer. After patterning with lithography, the patterned resist is used as mask for the isotropic underlayer wet etching of silicon dioxide with buffer HF solution. Using the obtained nanosacle silicon dioxide lines as RIE dry etching mask, silicon nitride template of 100nm width with steep sidewalls is successfully realized.

Abstract:

The widely used Si3N4-SiC sidewall refractories for aluminum smelting cells, and β SiAlON-SiC composites that can be potentially used for this purpose, have been produced by reaction bonding and their corrosion performance assessed in simulated aluminum electrochemical cell conditions. The formation of the Si3N4 and SiAlON phases were studied by reaction bonding of silicon powders in a nitrogen atmosphere at low temperatures to promote the formation of silicon nitride, followed by a higher heating step to produce β SiAlON composites of different composition. The corrosion performance was studied in a laboratory scale aluminum electrolysis cell where samples were exposed to both liquid attack from molten salt bath and corrosive gas attack. The corrosion resistance of the samples was shown to be dependent on the composition but more importantly on the environment during corrosion, with samples in the gas phase showing higher corrosion.

Abstract:

Abstract Graphite can be protected by coating it with a silicon carbide film. However, studies on the effects of different coating methods and process parameters on the thickness and bond strength of the films are not yet mature. In this paper, silicon nitride (Si3N4) and silicon carbide (SiC) are used as raw materials, and SiC films are successfully prepared on the surface of graphite substrate by composite sintering at high temperatures. The phase and microstructure of SiC films were characterized by X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM), respectively, and the effect and mechanism of sintering temperature on the formation of SiC films were investigated. The results show that Si3N4 and SiC decompose under high temperatures to generate silicon vapor and carbon-silicon gas molecules, which migrate to the graphite surface to react with C and recrystallize to form a SiC film. The main crystal phase of the SiC film at high temperature is 3C-SiC, the spherical SiC grains with smooth surfaces and small size gradually grow into regular hexagonal grains, and the SiC film is denser and thicker.

Abstract:

This paper analyzes data retention characteristics to determine process effects on the trap energy distribution of silicon nitride in silicon-oxide-nitride-oxide-silicon (SONOS) flash memory devices. Nitride films were prepared by low-pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) and plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). PEVCD films embedded with silicon nanocrystals (Si-NCs) were also compared. The flat band voltage shift in the programmed device was measured at high temperatures to observe the thermal excitation of electrons from the nitride traps in retention mode. The trap energy distribution was extracted using the charge decay rates, and the experimental results showed that nitride fabricated by PECVD has a shallower trap than nitride fabricated by LPCVD. In nitride with Si-NCs, increased trap sites were observed in the range of 1.14 eV to 1.24 eV.

Abstract:

AbstractHydrogen, amorphous silicon nitride (SiNx:H abbreviated SiNx) films were grown on multicrystalline silicon (mc-Si) substrate by plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition (PECVD) in parallel configuration using NH3/SiH4 gas mixtures. The mc-Si wafers were taken from the same column of Si cast ingot. After the deposition process, the layers were oxidized (thermal oxidation) in dry oxygen ambient environment at 950 °C to get oxide/nitride (ON) structure. Secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS), Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy (RBS), Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) and energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) were employed for analyzing quantitatively the chemical composition and stoichiometry in the oxide-nitride stacked films. The effect of annealing temperature on the chemical composition of ON structure has been investigated. Some species, O, N, Si were redistributed in this structure during the thermal oxidation of SiNx. Indeed, oxygen diffused to the nitride layer into Si2O2N during dry oxidation.

Abstract:

We know from experience that ceramic materials are brittle and easily broken. This is one reason why ceramics have not been used as engineering materials. Fracture is the result of crack growth through the microstructure. It was Griffith who proposed that ceramics have intrinsic cracks which grow under applied stress. The concentration of the applied stress at the crack tip decreases the strength to a level of about 1% or less of the theoretical strength. If the crack starts to grow, strength decreases so sharply that a catastrophic fracture occurs.In spite of the brittle nature of ceramics, their application as engineering materials was proposed in the 1960s because ceramic materials made of silicon nitride or carbide have higher strength at high temperatures than metals and oxide ceramics. Non-oxide ceramics have lower thermal-expansion-coefficients than oxides, resulting in better thermal shock resistance, which is one of the most important requirements for engineering ceramics.

Abstract:

Silicon nitride based composite has been prepared, using a direct mixture process as alternative route. Silicon carbide whiskers were mixed directly to silicon nitride based powders containing yttrium and neodymium oxide as sintering aids. Uniaxial hot pressing was used to prepare sintered samples. Crystalline phases were identified using x-ray diffractometry. Intergranular phases were analyzed using Scanning Electron Microscopy. Some mechanical properties (microhardness and fracture toughness) were also evaluated. The obtained high values of fracture toughness were correlated to the activation of toughening mechanisms, such as crack bridging and crack deflection.
