Aluminium can be deposited by e-beam evaporation, by sputter and by thermal evaporation. In the chart below you can compare the different methods on the different deposition equipment. | Aluminium can be deposited by e-beam evaporation, by sputter and by thermal evaporation.

!Stoichiometry | |||
| | |||
*Si<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub> | |||
*SRN (only 4" nitride furnace) | |||
Si<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub>: Stoichiometric nitride | |||
SRN: Silicon rich (low stress) nitride | |||
| | |||
*Si<sub>x</sub>N<sub>y</sub>H<sub>z</sub> | |||
*Si<sub>x</sub>O<sub>y</sub>N<sub>z</sub>H<sub>v</sub> | |||
Silicon nitride can be doped with boron, phosphorus or germanium | |||
|- | |||
|- | |||
|-style="background:WhiteSmoke; color:black" | |||
!Film thickness | |||
| | |||
*Si<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub>: ~50 Å - ~1400 Å | |||
*SRN: ~50 Å - ~2800 Å | |||
Thicker nitride layers can be deposited over more runs | |||
| | |||
*~40 nm - 10 µm | |||

!Process temperature | |||
| | |||
*780 <sup>o</sup>C - 845 <sup>o</sup>C | |||
| | |||
*300 <sup>o</sup>C | |||
|- | |||

!Step coverage | |||
| | |||
*Good | |||
| | |||
*Less good | |||
|- | |||
|- | |||
|-style="background:LightGrey; color:black" | |||
!Film quality | |||
| | |||
*Deposition on both sides og the substrate | |||
*Dense film | |||
*Few defects | |||
| | |||
*Deposition on one side of the substrate | |||
*Less dense film | |||
*Incorporation of hydrogen in the film | |||
|- | |||
|- | |||
|-style="background:WhiteSmoke; color:black" | |||
!KOH etch rate (80 <sup>o</sup>C) | |||
| | |||
*Expected <1 Å/min | |||
| | |||
*Dependent on recipe: ~1-10 Å/min | |||
|- | |||
|- | |||
|-style="background:LightGrey; color:black" | |||
!BHF etch rate | |||
| | |||
*Very low | |||
| | |||
*Very high compared the LPCVD nitride | |||
|- | |||

!Batch size | |||
| | |||
*1-25 100 mm wafers | |||
*1-25 150 mm wafers (only 6" furnace) | |||
Depending on what furnace you use | |||
| | |||
*Several smaller samples | |||
*1-several 50 mm wafers | |||
*1-3 100 mm wafers | |||
*1 150 mm wafer | |||
