Abstract

SiC:H films were produced in a remote plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (RPE-CVD) system. The HMDS was chosen as the primary source gas and was fixed at constant flow rate of 10 sccm. The C2H2 gas input amount was varied from 3 to 200 sccm for the study of carbon effect on the film stoichiometry and bonding properties. The deposition temperature of the substrate was fixed at 400°C, and the plasma power was fixed at 300 W. Using auger electron spectroscopy, the depth profile of the film was investigated with C2H2 flow rate changes. The C2H 2 played an important role in the transition between sp2 and sp3 carbon hybridization bonds, which affected the growth behavior and properties of the films.
