Abstract

Silicon oxynitride films with various O/N concentration ratios were deposited in a Low Pressure Chemical Vapour Deposition process from SiH2Cl2, N2O and NH3 or ND3. The resulting films were analysed with respect to their chemical compositions using a number of high energy ion beam methods. The results of the analysis are related to the growth kinetics. It is suggested that the SiH2Cl2 decomposes more difficult on growth surfaces which contain more oxygen. The effect is attributed to the larger electronegativity of oxygen compared to nitrogen.
