Abstract

The effect fluorine incorporation on properties of silicon dioxide thin films was studied. Fluorine was incorporated into silicon dioxide films during high density plasma chemical vapor deposition (CVD) with SiGH4/O 2/NF3/He gas mixture. The refractive index was measured by using ellipsometry decreased with increasing NF3/O2 flow ratio for both as-deposited and annealed films. It was found from the secondary ion mass spectroscopy and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy confirmed the behavior of fluorine diffusion and the binding energy for each species in the films.
