Abstract

Optical properties of silicon-based coatings are investigated in which the refractive index n is varied gradually (SiO_xN_y with continuously changing x and y) or in discrete steps (SiO₂/SiN_1.3 multilayers). The films are prepared at room temperature in a dual- mode microwave/radiofrequency (MW/RF) plasma in which the substrates are placed on an RF powered substrate holder, while simultaneously exposed to a MW discharge. The films' composition is controlled by the working gas mixture using SiH₄, NH₃ and N₂O, and their microstructure, such as packing density and interface roughness, is controlled independently by varying the energy and the flux of bombarding ions. The deposition process is monitored in-situ by optical emission spectroscopy measurements which are related to the compositional depth profiles provided by elastic recoil detection analysis.
