Abstract

Insulating thin films for strain gauge application, such as $SiO_2$ single layers and $SiO_2/Si_3N_4$ multilayers, are deposited by using both PECVD and RF magnetron sputtering techniques. Micro-structural analysis and electrical characterization are carried out on those films. It has been observed that PECVD films have a smoother surface and a denser micro-structure than sputter films. It should be also found out that the electrical insulation property of $SiO_2$ film can be significantly improved by adding the $Si_3N_4$ layer.
