摘要
The optimum condition of plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition to deposite silicon nitride (SiNx) film and its application as a gate insulator of a-Si thin-film transistor (TFT) have been investigated. The internal stress of SiNx in the range of 4.3 x 10(9) dyn/cm2 tensile to 8.0 x 10(9) dyn/cm2 compressive is found to be controllable by changing the ratio of H-2 and N2 in the source gases without affecting the optical band gap. Satisfactory TFT characteristics and high reliability are realized by using a gate insulator of SiNx having either stoichiometric or N-rich composition which shows the large optical band gap.
