ABSTRACT:
A silicon nitride film may be deposited on a work piece using conventional deposition techniques and a selected source for use as a silicon precursor. A nitrogen precursor may also be selected for film deposition. Using the selected precursor(s), the temperature for deposition may be 500° C., or less.
