Annealing normally takes place in an N<sub>2</sub> atmosphere, or it can be done in H<sub>2</sub> or a H<sub>2</sub>-N<sub>2</sub> gas mixture in the Multipurpose Anneal furnace. PECVD PBSG glass is annealed in a wet atmosphere which will also oxidize the silicon substrate. | ||
A 20 minutes N<sub>2</sub> annealing step is also included in all recipes on the oxidation furnace, this annealing is done after the oxidation. | A 20 minutes N<sub>2</sub> annealing step is also included in all recipes on the oxidation furnace, this annealing is done after the oxidation. | ||
