Description

The Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) system is an Oxford Instruments Plasma Technology Plasmalab System 100 platform that is optimized for amorphous silicon, silicon dioxide, and silicon nitride deposition. The PECVD has a variable temperature stage (RT to 600 °C). This system supports wafer sizes up to 6 inches, and provides PECVD film growth over a wide range of process conditions.

Applications
  • Amorphous Silicon Deposition
  • Silicon Dioxide Deposition
  • Silicon Nitride Deposition
Allowed material in PECVD System
  • Si, SixNy, SiO2, SOI
  • Hard masks compatible with process temperature
PECVD Gas List
  • SiH4 (5% in N2 and Ar)
  • NH3
  • N2O
  • N2
  • 80%CF4/O2
