Richard, you are facing a lot of troubles. 8 um of oxide will have a lot of stress. You can combine three methods of oxide formation. 1. thermal oxidatin followed by polysilicon deposition, oxidation of poly, perhaps repeat these steps with poly and finish it with LP (PE) CVD oxide deposition. We made some 6 um of oxide before using these techniques. There is not many cases when you really need such a thick oxide. Are you sure you need it? Good luck. Pavel On Wed, 20 May 1998, Richard A.
