Effects of nitrogen doping on the growth and properties of plasma-enhanced chemical-vapor-deposited diamond-like-carbon films

Nitrogen-doped diamond-like carbon (DLC) or amorphous hydrogenated carbon (a-C:H) films were grown by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition using methane and nitrogen gases as precursors. The effects of nitrogen trifluoride (NF₃) on these nitrogen-doped DLC films were also investigated. The deposition rate decreases sharply with the addition of nitrogen in the absence of NFF₃ due to dilution, while it increases in the presence of NFF₃ due, presumably, to the reduction of activated hydrogen species by the fluorine radical (F϶. X-ray photoelectron spectra reveal a nitrogen concentration in the range of 9.3 to 13.8% in these DLC films with a C Is electron binding energy of 287-288 eV, indicating the diamond-like structure. Infrared spectra of DLC films indicate the presence of amino groups (N-H) and nitrile and/or isonitrile (C= N) groups giving strong evidence of sp carbon. Diamond like carbon films deposited in CHF₄ +NF₄ (with and without NFF₃) have a lower refractive index, a lower bulk resistivity, and a lower optical bandgap than films deposited using CHF₄ due to a lower hydrogen content in the films. Moreover, the bulk resistivity of these films decreases by over four orders of magnitude and the optical bandgap decreases from 2.65 eV to about 0.75 eV following annealing at a temperature of 500°C.     

Dielectric films for Si solar cell applications

Thin films of many dielectric materials have been used in the past for fabrication of solar cells and as a part of their device structure. However, current efforts to reduce solar cell costs in commercial production have led to simplification of cell design and fabrication. Use of self-aligning techniques has obviated the need for photolithography and conventional masking with dielectric films for cell fabrication. Currently, the most favored dielectric material in Si solar cell production is SiN:H, deposited by the plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) process. The SiN:H layer and its processing play multiple roles of serving as an antireflection coating, a surface passivating layer, a buffer layer through which metal is fired, and a means of transporting hydrogen into the bulk of the solar cell. In order to optimize the solar cell performance, the SiN:H layer must meet some conflicting demands. The various applications of the SiN:H layer in solar cell fabrication are described here.

Improvement in dielectric properties of low temperature PECVD silicon dioxide by reaction with hydrazine

The dielectric properties of plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) SiO₂ deposited at 150°C were improved by reaction with anhydrous hydrazine vapor at 150–350°C. The permittivity and loss decreased ~32% and ~86%, respectively, after reaction with hydrazine at 150°C. The decrease in permittivity and loss correlated with a decrease in the dipole concentration (silanol + water). During exposure to humid conditions, water uptake in the SiO₂ films degraded the dielectric properties. A nitrogen anneal at 350°C did not improve the dielectric properties of the PECVD SiO₂. Although water was removed from the films, silanol remained. When the PECVD SiO₂ deposited at 150° was reacted with hydrazine vapor at 150°C, both silanol and water were removed from the films. The dielectric properties and resistance to water absorption improved.
