Abstract

The correlation between the stress and bonding characteristics of amorphous hydrogenated SiNx thin films deposited on single crystal Si was investigated using a modified random bonding model. The results showed that intrinsic stress was responsible for the measured tensile stress infilms with an N content higher than 1.0. The incorporated NH bonds induced the intrinsic stress to relax.
