ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition method and apparatus for reducing the hydrogen concentration in amorphous silicon carbide films deposited on a substrate. The process combines a noble gas such as helium with a silicon source such as silane and a carbon source such as methane in the reaction zone of a CVD chamber. The resulting silicon carbide films have a low concentration of hydrogen and high compressive stress. The films are preferably produced with a plasma generated by a mixture of high and low radio frequency.
