=Deposition of Silicon Nitride using PECVD= | |||
At the moment DTU Nanolab has 2 PECVDs that can deposit silicon nitride and silicon oxynitride. PECVD4 is for clean silicon based and III-V based samples. PECVD3 is for silicon based samples but here up 5% (4 cm2) wafer coverage of other materials as metals are allowed (under some conditions even more). Look at the [[Specific Process Knowledge/Thin film deposition/PECVD|PECVD]] page to learn more about the PECVDs at DTU Nanolab. All though PECVD3 and PECVD4 are very much alike you cannot count on the a recipe on one system will give exactly the same results on the other system. | |||

=Oxynitrides= | |||
The recipe for making oxynitrides will depend on what kind of oxynitride you need. If you need a little higher refractive index than SiO2 then start with an SiO2 recipe and then add NH3 until the right refractive index is obtained. If you need very high refractive index a little lower than for silicon nitride then it is probably better to start with a silicon nitride recipe and add a some N2O until you get the right refractive index. | |||
We had a Ph.d student long time ago Klaus Bo Mogensen that did the first. You can find his ph.d. thesis here: [https://findit.dtu.dk/en/catalog?author=Mogensen&q=title%3A%28Integration+of+Planar+Waveguides+for+Optical+Detection+in+Microfabricated+Analytical+Devices%29 Integration of Planar Waveguides for Optical Detection in Microfabricated Analytical Devices] | |||
Berit H. has the thesis in her office. | |||
