Abstract
⺠LPCVD, RTCVD and ALD as-deposited nitride films present tensile stress dependant on the Si/N ratio and are thermally stable. ⺠Stress of as-deposited PECVD nitride layers range from compressive to tensile, depending on ion bombardment during growth. ⺠After high temperature annealing, PECVD nitride films behave similarly to LPCVD layers. ⺠Young's moduli and density are positively correlated.
