Deposition of Silicon Oxide can be done with either LPCVD, PECVD | Deposition of Silicon Oxide can be done with either LPCVD, PECVD, by sputter technique or ALD. You can also make a silicon oxide layer by growing a [[Specific Process Knowledge/Thermal Process/Oxidation|thermal oxide]] in a hot furnace but that requires a silicon surface as a starting point. | ||

Thin films of silicon oxide up to 50 nm can also be deposited in the [[Specific Process Knowledge/Thin film deposition/ALD2 (PEALD)|ALD2]]. The ALD2 uses the plasma source and can therefore only deposit on one wafer at a time. The deposition takes place at 300 <sup>o</sup>C, where the growth rate is 0.1222nm on flat samples. It is also possible to deposit uniform layers on high aspect ratio structures with a growth rate of 0.1629 nm/cycle. | |||
