Abstract

Deposition of SiNx films by ArF laser induced chemical vapor deposition has been investigated. The films exhibit excellent electrical properties; the high breakdown voltage and the low fixed charge are the same as in films deposited by LPCVD, but the BHF etching rate of them is larger by a factor about 4 than that prepared by the plasma CVD. The diffusion length of the radicals contributing to the deposition was estimated from the distribution of the deposition rate as a function of the deposition parameters. The optical emission from the radicals produced by ArF laser irradiation was also studied. Using these results, we discuss the mechanism of the deposition.
