Silicon oxynitride films were deposited using ammonia as a nitrogen source via PECVD (plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition) to study the physical properties of the films. Silane and nitrous oxide were used as silicon and oxygen sources, respectively. The composition of the silicon oxynitride films was well controlled by changing the ratios of the sources and confirmed by XPS. The silicon oxynitride films with high oxygen content showed bigger compressive stress and less refractive index, while the values of surface roughness were around 1 nm, irrespective of the variation of the source ratios.

Plasma silicon oxynitride film has been applied as a final passivation layer for semiconductor devices, because it has high resistance to humidity and prevents from alkali ion's penetration, and has low film stress. Structure properties of plasma silicon oxynitride film have been studied experimentally by the use of FT-IR, AES, stress gauge and ellipsometry. In this experiment,Si-N bonds increase as NS12TO/(NS12TO+NHS13T) gas ratio increases. Peaks of Si-N bond, Si-H bond and N-H bond were shifted to high wavenumber according to NS12TO/(NS12TO+NHS13T) gas ratio increase. Absorption peaks of Si-H bond were decreased by furnace anneal at 90$0^{\circ}C$. The atomic composition of film represents that oxygen atoms increase as NS12TO/(NS12TO+NHS13T) gas ratio increases, to the contrary, nitrogen atoms decrease.

플라즈마 화학기상증착(PECVD)법을 이용하여 p-type Si(100) 웨이퍼에 Silicon Oxynitride(SiON) 후막을 SiH$_4$ , $N_2$O, $N_2$ 가스를 혼합하여 증착하였다. Prism coupler측정을 통해 SiON 후막의 굴절률 1.4620~1.5312을 얻었으며, rf power가 180 W에서 5.92$\mu$m/h의 증착률을 나타내었다. 증착변수에 따른 화학적 조성의 영향은 X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy(XPS) 을 통하여 관찰하였다. 또한, SiON 후막 증착후에 $1.5\mu$m 부근의 흡수띠를 제거하기 위해 105$0^{\circ}C$의 $N_2$ 분위기에서 2시간 동안 열처리를 행하였다.

실리콘 질화막을 습식 산화하여 제작한 산화막/질화막 복합층과 이 박막의 산화막을 식각하여 제작한 oxynitride 박막의 물리적, 전기적 특성을 기술하였다. $900^{\circ}C$에서 산화시간이 증가함에 따라 산화막/질화막의 경우에는 축전용량은 급격히 감소하였으나 절연 파괴전장은 증가하였다. Oxynitrite박막은 축전용량과 절연파괴 전장이 모두 증가하였다. Oxynitride박막의 경우 축전 용량의 증가와 절연 파괴 전장이 증가하였는데 이는 유효 주께 감소와 박막의 양질화에 기인하였다. 또한, 산화 시강의 증가에 따라 Oxynitride박막의 TDDB특성과 초기 불량율도 향상되었다. 결론적으로 Oxynitride박막은 dynamic기억소자의 유전체 박막으로 사용하기에 적합하였다.

Silicon nitride-La-silicon oxynitride ceramics were fabricated by Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS). The density, crystalline phase and microstructure were compared with those obtained by Hot Pressing (HP). The full density was achieved within 40 min by spark plasma sintering at 1$650^{\circ}C$, whereas the same result was required by hot pressing with a dwell time of 500 min at higher temperature. There were some differences in the microstructure and second phases in the sintered ceramics, which are attributed to the rapid densification in the spark plasma sintering. The fine and acicular grain microstructure appeared in spark plasma sintering.

This investigation includes nitridation phenomena of silicon powder compacts in air. Nitridation reaction condition has been provided with using silicon nitride bed and active carbon additive. Reaction products are Oxynitride, $\alpha$-Si3N4, and $\beta$-Si3N4, Oxynitride(Si2N2O) phase in formed at outer surface layer ofsilicon powder compacts. $\alpha$-Si3N4, and $\beta$-Si3N4 are formed at inner region of powder compacts. Microstructural observation indicates that nitridation mechanism in this work is the same as conventional nitridation mechanism nitrogen gas.

It is very important to select superior inter-layer PMD(Pre Metal Dielectric) materials which can act as penetration barrier to various impurities created by CMP processes. In this paper, hot carrier degradation and device characteristics were studied with material variation of PMD-1 layers, which were split by LP-TEOS, SR-Oxide, PE-Oxynitride, PE-Nitride, PE-TEOS films. It was observed that the oxynitride and nitride using plasma was greatly decreased in hot carrier effect in comparison with silicon oxide. Consequently, silicon oxide turned out to be a better PMD-1 material than PE-oxynitride and PE-nitride. Also, LP-TEOS film was the best PMD-1 material Among the silicon oxides.

The hardness and elastic modulus of three bulk materials are computed from the load and displacement data which are measured during basic nanoindentation test and compared with values determined by independent means to assess the accuracy of the method. The results show that with this technique, modulus and hardness and elastic modulus profile through depth of silicon nitride and silicon oxynitride films. The results show that for silicon nitride film deposited on silicon, hardness and elastic modulus increase as the volume ratio of NH3 : SiH4, which had been used for deposition, increases up to 20.0; and for silicon oxynitride film on silicon, the hardness and elastic modulus profile changes distinctly as the relative amount of oxygen in deposition gas mixture changes.

For the accumulation of a fundamental knowledge about the behavior of glass solder during the joining of ceramics, the wettability of solder on silicon nitride have been measured by sessile drop method. $SiO_2-MgO-Al_2O_3$ g1ass solder and oxynitride glass solders were selected as examples while silicon nitride which were used as substrates. Contact angle of solder on silicon nitride didn't decrease with time at high nitrogen content in the solder, but low nitrogen content in solders have the time-dependent property. Reason which contact angle of low nitrogen content in solders decrease on silicon nitride was that diffusion of nitrogen take place between solder and silicon nitride.
