Abstract

SiO2 thin firms were fabricated in a remote electron cyclotron resonance (ECR) plasma by tctraethoxysilane (TEOS) as the silicon source. Oxygen was used as the plasma gas. A mesh was placed between the TEOS gas outlet and the substrate. In the present investigation a-SiO2 films were deposited with and without the mesh and film properties were studied comparatively. The deposition rate increased when the mesh was attached. The optimum deposition rate is observed when the mesh voltage was zero, that is the mesh was grounded. The deposition rates of both methods were also dependnt on the TEOS flow rate, applied microwave power and the substrate temperature. These three parameters have significant roles in controlling the film quality. Good quality SiO2 films can be obtained with a higher deposition rate when a mesh is attached.
