Hi Panchal, I am assuming that SiN deposited (either LPCVD or PECVD) is good film. If the SiN film is good then one thing will matter most to the adhesion of the Ni to the SiN film.. Surface cleaning before deposition: which you can do by using plasma etching or ion etching on the surface before deposition, in that case you do not need to clean the oxide prior to putting your substrate into the dep chamber. It also make the surface rougher to adhere the Ni onto substrate. Hope, it resolve your challenge!

November 2015 18:01 An: General MEMS Discussion Betreff: [mems-talk] Silicon Carbide Issue We have problem regarding nickle deposition on Silicon nitride by sputtering. Prior to deposition we have removed the oxides from the surface. Please suggest possible solution. Have a good day everyone.
