!Generel description
|Low Pressure Chemical Vapour Deposition (LPCVD furnace process)
|Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapour Deposition (PECVD process)
|-
|-
|-style="background:LightGrey; color:black"
!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
|-
|-
|-style="background:LightGrey; color:black"
!Process temperature
|
*780 <sup>o</sup>C - 845 <sup>o</sup>C
|
*300 <sup>o</sup>C
|-
|-
|-style="background:WhiteSmoke; color:black"
!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
|-
|-
|-style="background:WhiteSmoke; color:black"
!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
Depending on what PECVD you use
|-
|-
|-style="background:LightGrey; color:black"
!'''Allowed materials'''
|
*Silicon
*Silicon oxide
*Silicon nitride
*Pure quartz (fused silica)
Processed wafers have to be RCA cleaned
|
*Silicon
*Silicon oxide (with boron, phosphorous and germanium)
*Silicon nitrides (with boron, phosphorous and germanium)
*Pure quartz (fused silica)
