摘要
GaAs/AlGaAs heterojunction bipolar transistors were coated with thin (< 200 Angstrom) SiNx or SiO2 layers using electron cyclotron resonance chemical vapor deposition.The process variables were deposition temperature (25-120 degrees C), source power (150-700 W), SiH4 percentage (20-50%), process pressure (15-40 mTorr) and additional Ar flow rate (0-20 sccm). HBT de parameters were least degraded at high SiH4 percentages in all the plasma chemistries investigated (SiH4/NH3, SiH4/N-2, SiH4/N2O), at moderate source powers (200-500 W), at pressures around 15 mTorr, and at zero Ar flow rates. Deposition temperature had a significant effect only for the SiH4/NH3 chemistry, where hydrogen passivation was more efficient at temperatures above 100 degrees C. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd.
