摘要
In the experiments in the present study, electron cyclotron resonance plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposition was used for the deposition of SiOxNy films from O-2/Ar, N-2 and SiH4/Ar mixtures. Optical properties of the films were studied by means of transmission spectroscopy in the wavelength range 200-2600 nm. Refractive indices ranged between 1.5 and 3.5 (measured at 632.8 nm) for different film compositions. The extinction coefficient showed a strong blue shift with decrease of silane content in the gas mixture. Optical interference filters with continuously varying refractive index profiles were designed, and manufactured by our computer controlled electron cyclotron resonance system. Designs which take into account dispersion of refractive index, and absorption in the constituent SiOxNy material, differ only significantly from designs in which it is neglected at wavelengths shorter than 700 nm.
