Refractive Index vs gas flow ratio
PECVD
Plasmalab System 100with vacuum loadlock
Refractive index reproducibility
Rate: 100 - 400 nm/ min Uniformity over 4”/6”/8”: + 1 / 1.5/ 3 % SiH4 based PECVD Doping by Ge, B, P Rate Reproducibility: +/- 1.5 % Refractive Index: 1.46 - 1.49 Stress: < 100 MPa compr. (as depodited)/ < 200 MPa after anneal low N-H content for low losses at 1550 nm Index Uniformity: ± 0.001 after PECVD, ± 0.0002 after anneal Chamber cleaning by plasma only Plasma Clean Interval > 100 µm
