摘要
The surface morphology of 40-MHz PECVD SiNx films is investigated. We report on the correlation between the deposition conditions, bulk properties, and surface roughness of these TFT insulators. The roughness is measured with atomic-force microscopy, AFM. A link will be presented between the Am? properties and the effects of hydrogen dilution during deposition: gas composition and rf-power-density (P) dependences will be discussed. An increase of the surface roughness to 3.7 nm is observed upon H-2 dilution and P increase, ascribed to enhanced ion bombardment of the surface during growth.
