Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is an attractive method for producing bulk and thin-film materials for a variety of applications. In this method, gaseous reagents condense onto a substrate and then react to produce solid materials. The materials produced by CVD are theoretically dense, highly pure, and have other superior properties.

Amorphous refractory materials can be used in a number of optoelectronic applications when fabricated in multilayer structures. When the layers are deposited with very small thicknesses, heterostructures are produced. Such structures have an adjustable optical bandgap because the wavelength of light is much larger than the distance over which the composition of the film varies (layer to layer). Thicker multilayer structures can be fabricated on metallized, high thermal conductivity substrates. The purpose of the structure is to both protect and modify the substrate's properties. Two types of plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition (PACVD) techniques have been employed to produce these structures.

For heteroepitaxial systems, such as silicon on sapphire (SOS), microtwins occur in significant numbers and are thought to contribute to strain relief in the silicon thin film. The size of this contribution can be assessed from TEM measurements, of the differential volume fraction of microtwins, dV/dν (the derivative of the microtwin volume V with respect to the film volume ν), for SOS grown by both chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and molecular beam epitaxy (MBE).In a (001) silicon thin film subjected to compressive stress along the [100] axis , this stress can be relieved by four twinning systems: a/6[211]/( lll), a/6(21l]/(l1l), a/6[21l] /( l1l), and a/6(2ll)/(1ll).3 For the a/6[211]/(1ll) system, the glide of a single a/6[2ll] twinning partial dislocation draws the two halves of the crystal, separated by the microtwin, closer together by a/3.

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.
