AbstractSilicon nitride films prepared by low temperatures are widely applicable as gate insulator films of thin film transistors of liquid crystal displays. In this work, silicon nitride films are formed around 300 °C by deposition and direct nitridation methods in a catalytic chemical vapor deposition system. The properties of the silicon nitride films are investigated. It is found that, 1) the breakdown electric field is over 9MV/cm, 2) the surface state density is about 1011cm−2eV−1 are observed in the deposition films. These result shows the usefulness of the catalytic chemical vapor deposition silicon nitride films as gate insulator material for thin film transistors.

AbstractThin, disordered interlayers were used to enhance the nucleation of Si3N4. Continuous crystalline films were formed at relatively low temperatures (<1250°C) by using an amorphous, Sirich interlayer. The interlayer was produced by varying the CVD conditions (i.e., by using multistep processing). Samples were characterized with XPS, SEM, and TEM with concurrent EELS. The results indicate that the nucleation of crystalline material is very sensitive to the structure and composition of the disordered interlayers. Also, the structure and composition of the interlayers evolve during growth, such that crystalline material only nucleates when the interlayer provides favorable conditions.
