Chemical Stability of Reactively Sputtered AlN with Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposited SiO2 and SiNx
POLYCRYSTALLINE THIN FILMS: STRUCTURE, TEXTURE, PROPERTIES AND APPLICATIONS(1994)
摘要
We have studied the chemical stability of reactively sputtered aluminum nitride film with plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposited SiO2 and SiNx films. It was found that the PECVD SiO2 film reacted with A1N to form aluminosilicate (3Al2O3·2SiO2) at the SiO2/A1N interface after annealing above 550°C. The presence of Al-0 bonds at the SiO2/AlN interface was verified with x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and x-ray induced Auger electron spectroscopy. The formation of aluminosilicate resulted in significant decrease in the wet etch rate of A1N layer. For SiNx/AlN/Si layered structure, no interfacial reactions were detected at the SiNx/AlN interface after annealing up to 850°C. These results confirm the thermodynamic predictions on the mutual stability of SiNx/AlN and SiO2/AlN.
