Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain the protective film which has an excellent protective effect and is applicable to various applications by constituting the protective film of the composite of the nitride and carbide of aluminum and silicon. CONSTITUTION:A sintered target consisting of Al and Si (for example, Al30Si70 at.%) is used for a target 1 and an Si wafer is used for a substrate 2. After the inside of a chamber 3 is evacuated to a vacuum, Ar, N2, CH4 are introduced into the chamber and a voltage is impressed to the AlSi target 1 by an RF power source to form the composite film of the nitride and carbide of the aluminum and silicon (AlSiNC:H film) on the Si substrate by reactive sputtering. The Al SiNC:H protective film exhibits good protective characteristics to various devices and is able to enhance the reliability of the various devices over a long period of time.

Films were formed with various OH4 pressures and various evaluations were performed. Figure 2 shows the etching rates of various films.
It is. Films were prepared with PN2 constant and Ar pressure, OH, and pressure varied, and the etching rate using buffered hydrofluoric acid (BHF') with HF:H20=1 nia was measured. The liquid temperature was kept constant at 25°C. As you can see from this figure, At mixed with OH4. It can be seen that the etching rate of the 817°N film is slower than that of the film without OH4. In other words, it can be seen that the film quality is good.
