Deposition of silicon nitride can be done with either LPCVD (Low Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition) or PECVD (Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition). Stoichiometric nitride or silicon rich (low stress) LPCVD nitride is deposited on a batch of wafers in a LPCVD nitride furnace, and PECVD nitride (or oxynitride) is deposited on a few samples at a time in a PECVD system. LPCVD nitride has a good step coverage and a very good uniformity. Using PECVD it is possible to deposit a much lower temperature and a thicker layer of nitride on different types of samples, but the nitride does not cover sidewalls very well.

It is also possible to deposit silicon nitride using the Lesker sputter system.  
It is also possible to deposit silicon nitride and oxynitride by reactive sputtering.
