摘要: The optimum condition of plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition to deposite silicon nitride (SiNx) film and its application as a gate insulator a-Si thin-film transistor (TFT) have been investigated. internal stress SiNx in the range 4.3×109 dyn/cm2 tensile 8.0×109 compressive is found be controllable by changing ratio H2 N2 source gases without affecting optical band gap. Satisfactory TFT characteristics high reliability are realized using having either stoichiometric or N-rich composition which shows large
