Abstract

Silicon dioxide films deposited from the PECVD reaction of silane and nitrous oxide in the presence of helium were studied to determine the effects of RF power on the deposition process. Increased RF power density yielded oxides which were structurally and chemically more homogeneous. The combination of elevated power density with increased silane concentration resulted in the deposition of films of high electrical and physical integrity at high deposition rates.
