Аннотация:SiOx(CH)yNz films were deposited at room temperature using plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) with a gas mixture of hexamethyldisilazane [HMDS, Si2NH(CH3)6]/Ar/N2O. The characteristics of those films with increasing N2O were investigated. When no N2O was used, the film showed organic characteristics with a Si/O composition ratio of 2 and a large concentration of –CHx and N–H in the deposited film. However, with increasing N2O flow rate, oxygen-rich and transparent SiO2-like inorganic thin films could be obtained with a Si/O composition ratio of 0.5 and a lower –CHx and N–H in the deposited film. By turning on-and-off the N2O gas flow during SiOx(CH)yNz deposition, a multi-layer thin film consisting of an organic Si(CH)x-like film/inorganic SiO2-like thin film, which can be applied to the thin film passivation for organic devices could be successfully deposited.
