摘要: Abstract Tetramethylsilane (TMS) diluted highly with hydrogen is used for depositing a-SiC:H thin films at room temperature under varying degrees of ion bombardment in a 13.56 MHz r.f.-powered, asymmetrical plasma reactor. An impedance analysis to estimate apparent energy and other parameters such as electron density the degree ionization. The obtained high show densities comparable those deposited temperatures; are transparent most visible IR regions; resistant etching buffered HF solution; exhibit excellent adhesion various substrates including silicon wafer, quartz, aluminum, polymers polycarbonate polyimide. FTIR studies bond structures depending on level bombardment. When flux increased, content film decreases crosslinking appears increase.
