PECVD장비를 사용하여 PSG를 증착하고 막의 유전 및 보호막 특성을 조사하였다. X-선 형광분석으로 PSG내의 인 농도를 분석한 결과 약 8m/o에서 포화되었다. 인 함량에 대한 PSC의 적외선 홉수율, 식각속도 및 시트저항등의 변화도 비교하였다. APCVD와 PECV각에 대한 유전특성, 스텝 커버리지, 크랙저항과 게터링효과를 검토하였다. PECVD산화막은 비중 2.4g/㎤, 굴절율 1.53, 항복전장 11-13MV/cm의 값을 가졌고 크랙저항도 APCVD산화막 보다 우수하였다 2m/o의 인을 포함하는 PECVD PSG의 경우 양호한 스텝 커버리지와 게터링효과를 보였다. 공정변수에 대한 일련의 실험을 통하여 PECVD PSC 공정으로 보다 개선된 특성의 보초막을 얻을 수 있었다.

Aluminum oxide thin films were deposited on p-type(100) silicon substrates by electron cyclotron resonance plasma enhanced CVD(ECR-PECVD) using TMA[Al(CH3)3] and oxygen as reactant gases at 16$0^{\circ}C$ or lower temperatures. The aluminum oxide films deposited by ECR-PECVD have the amorphous structure with the refractive index of 1.62~1.64 and the O/Al ratio of 1.6~1.7. Oxygen flow rate necessary for the stable deposition of the aluminum oxide films increases as the deposition temperature increases. It was found from the OES analysis that the ECR plasma had les cooling effect by introducing the TMA reactant gas in comparison with the RF plasma. The properties of aluminum oxide films prepared by ECR-PECVD were compared with those prepared by RF-PECVD. The ECR-PECVD aluminum oxide films have the higher refractive indices, the lower contents of impurities (H and C) and the stronger wet etch resistance than those deposited by RF-PECVD.

Plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) allows low temperature processing and so it is widely used, but it causes instability of devices due to serious amount of impurities within the film. In this paper, electrical and chemical characteristics of the PECVD oxynitride film formed by different N$_{2}$O to N$_{2}$O+NH$_{3}$ gas ratio is studied. It has been found that hydrogen concentration of PECVD oxynitride film was decreased from 4.25*10$^{22}$ [cm$^{-2}$ ] to 1.18*10$^{21}$ [cm$^{-2}$ ] according to the increase of N$_{2}$O gas. It was also found that PECVD oxynitride films have low trap density in the oxide and interface in comparison with PECVD nitroxide films, and has higher refractive index and capacitance than oxide films. In particular, oxynitride film formed in gas ratio of N$_{2}$O/(N$_{2}$O+NH$_{3}$)= 0.88 shows increased capacitance and decreased leakage current due to small portion of hydrogen in oxide and the accumulation of nitrogen about 4[atm.%] at the interface.

Deposition properties and film characteristics of Remote PECVD silicon dioxide were investigated. Using $N_{2}O/SiH_{4}$, the effects of changing the process conditions` the pressure, the substrate temperature, and the gas mixing ration, on the film quality were observed. A comparison of film qualites of the Remote PECVD SiO$_2$ with that of a Direct PECVD SiO$_2$ was made. The experimental results show that the Remote PECVD SiO$_2$ has better electrical, physical, and annealing properties than the Direct PECVD oxide.

The silicon nitride ($SiN_x$) film for surface passivation and anti-reflection coating of crystalline silicon solar cell is very important and it is generally deposited by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). PECVD can be divided into low and high frequency method. In this paper, the $SiN_x$ film deposited by low and high frequency PECVD method was studied. First, to optimize the $SiN_x$ film deposited by low frequency PECVD method, the refractive index was measured by varying the process conditions like $SiH_4$, $NH_3$, $N_2$ gas rate, and RF power. When $SiH_4$ gas rate was increased and $NH_3$ gas rate was decreased, the refractive index was increased. The refractive index was also increased with RF power decline. Second, to compare the characteristics of the low and high frequency PECVD $SiN_x$ film, the refractive index was measured by varying $NH_3/SiH_4$ gas ratio and RF power and the minority carrier lifetime of before and after high temperature treatment process was also measured. The refractive index of both low and high frequency PECVD $SiN_x$ film was decreased with increase in $NH_3/SiH_4$ gas ratio and RF power. After high temperature treatment process, the minority carrier lifetime of both low and high frequency PECVD $SiN_x$ film was increased and increased degree was similar. The minority carrier lifetime of low frequency PECVD $SiN_x$ was increased from $11.03{\mu}m$ to $28.24{\mu}m$ and that of high frequency PECVD $SiN_x$ was increased from $11.60{\mu}m$ to $27.10{\mu}m$.

We have characterized XeCl excimer-laser-induced crystallization of thin amorphous silicon films deposited by PECVD (${\alpha}$-Si:H) and LPCVD (${\alpha}$-Si). The electrical properties, surface roughness and crystallinity of crystallized thin films have been measured. The dc conductivities, crystallinity andsurface roughness of the films increased as the laser energy density and shot density were increased. The properties of laser annealed films deposited by LPCVD were better than those of thin films deposite by PECVD. We have also found that the multiple shots with relative low energy density were more benifical to the improsvement of surface roughness than the single shot with high energy density preserving the crystallinity.

Sb-doped tin oxide films were deposited on Corning glass 1737 substrate by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition(PECVD) technique using a gas mixture of SnCl4/SbCl5/O2/Ar. The deposition behaviors of tin oxide films by PECVD were compared with those by thermal CVD, and effects of deposition temperature, r.f. power and Sb doping on the electrical properties of tin oxide films were investigated. PECVD technique largely increased the deposition rate and smoothed the surface of tin oxide films compared with thermal CVD. Electrical resistivity decreased with doping of Sb due to the increase of carrier concentration. However, large doping of Sb diminished carrier concentration and mobility due to the decrease of crystallinity, which resulted in the increase of electrical resistivity. As the deposition temperature and r.f. power increased, Cl content in the film decreased.

[ $Si_3N_4$ ] thin film is the good material to fabricate the capacitors at MMIC processes. Normally, $Si_3N_4$ thin films is used to dielectric in the MIM capacitor and film thickness is $2000\;{\AA}$. Insulator(or dielectric) was deposited by PECVD at our MIM structure with air bridge which connect between top metal and contact pad. We optimized PECVD process to fabricate the good capacitors which can be applied at the true MMIC. The thickness of our $Si_3N_4$ thin films was $1000\;{\AA}$ shallower than $2000\;{\AA}$, and their breakdown voltages were above 70V.
