Abstract
The mechanism of SiO2 deposition by pyrolysis of TEOS at 973K was studied by the micro/macrocavity method proposed previously by the authors. We analyzed the deposition-rate profiles in macrocavities (0.1 - 0.5 mm x 10 mm) and microcavities (3µm x 2µm), based on a model of diffusion and chemical reaction occurring simultaneously. Analysis of deposition-rate profiles under reduced pressure (2 Torr) and medium pressure (60 Torr) showed the existence of two kinds of intermediate species, a highly active one and low active one. The effects of gas phase additives (NH3 or H2O) were also examined. Conformal depositions in microcavities were achieved by the addition of H2O in this reaction system.
