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.

Alkoxide Precursors

A novel two-step metalorganic chemical vapor deposition process was used in this study to prepare Sr1−xBaxNb2O6 (SBN) thin films. Two thin layers of single-phase SrNb2O6 and BaNb2O6 were deposited alternately on a silicon substrate, and the solid solution of SBN was obtained by high-temperature annealing. The stoichiometry control of the SrNb2O6 and the BaNb2O6 thin films was achieved through deposition process control, according to the evaporation characteristics of double metal alkoxide. The evaporation behavior of double metal alkoxide precursors SrNb2(1-OC4H9)12 and BaNb2(1-OC4H9)12 was studied, and the results were compared with the evaporation of single alkoxide Nb(1-OC4H9)5.

Hierarchical Architecture

AbstractThe chemical vapor deposition of silicon nitride can be used to protect advanced materials and composites from high temperature, corrosive, and oxidative environments. Desired coating characteristics, such as uniformity and morphology, cannot be measured in-situ by traditional sensors due to the adverse conditions within the high-temperature reactor. A control strategy has been developed which utilizes a process model and an advanced laser-based sensor to measure the deposition rate of the silicon nitride coating in real-time. The control system is based on a three level hierarchical architecture which functionally separates the process control into PID, supervisory and advanced sensor-based control. Optimal setpoint schedules for the supervisory level are derived from a quasi-fuzzy logic inverse mapping of the process model. An advanced sensor utilizing laser ultrasonics provides real-time coating thickness estimates. Model bias is characterized for each reactor and is correlated on-line with the sensor's deposit thickness estimate. Deviations from model predictions may result in parametric changes to the process model. New setpoint schedules are then created as input to the supervisory control level by regenerating the inverse map of the updated process model.
