Hi Raj, the 620C 2um poly recipe will most likely give you a highly compressive poly several Hundred MPa in value. For Low stress Poly you will need to grow it at 580-600C closer to the amorphous-crystalline phase transition temperature. The unit cell volume change during the as-growth phase transformation will give you a low tensile stress film. cheers Dave Kharas Ph.D. Sarcon Microsystems dave_kharas@yahoo.com > Dear Friends We are in the process of validating our film stress data. Can anybody suggest us the typical stress range of the following films. Dep. Method Film Type Thick. Dep. Temp. LPCVD Polysilicon 20000 A 620 Deg. C PECVD Nitride 10000 A 400 Deg. C LPCVD Nitide 1500 A 770 Deg. C LTO PSG 8000 A 420 Deg. C PECVD Oxide 20000 A 400 Deg. C DC sputtred Aluminium 6000 A 220 Deg.
