Abstract

A new coating process of silicon dioxide (SiO2) “LPD” process, has been developed recently. Silicon dioxide (SiO2) film can be deposited on any substrate at the room temperature by immersing in hexafluorosilicic acid (H2SiF6).

In this study, physical and chemical properties of the “LPD- SiO2” film were investigated by using XPS, IR, ellipsometry, and etch rate measurement. The properties of this film deposited at the room temperature were almost the same as those of plasma CVD. The “LPD-SiO2” film without annealing was contained traces of F and OH. However, by annealing, F and OH were rapidly evaporated from the film and the film was getting densified.

As the “LPD-SiO2” film deposited at the room temperature showed very good results of chemical etching rate and of step coverage, it is expected that it is possible to use this “LPD- SiO2” film in the wide range of industrial area.
