The deposition takes place at temperatures of 800-835 degrees Celsius. The gases involved are Ammonia and dichlorsilane. The LPCVD nitride has a good step coverage and the film thickness is very uniform over the wafer. We have two standard LPCVD nitride processes: One for depositing stoichiometric nitride (Si<sub>3</sub>N<sub>4</sub>) and one for deposition of low stress nitride (SNR). | ||
