Abstract:
1. A method of depositing a dielectric layer on a substrate, the method comprising: introducing a substrate into a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition chamber, wherein the substrate defines a surface, wherein the temperature of the substrate is between about 65° C. and about 350° C.; forming a plasma within the plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition chamber; introducing a silicon source into the plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition chamber such that the silicon deposits on the surface of the substrate, wherein the silicon source is substantially free from an oxidizing agent; independent from the silicon source, introducing an oxygen source, a nitrogen source, or a combination thereof into the plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition chamber, wherein the oxygen source and/or nitrogen source is substantially free from a silicon source, wherein a dielectric layer including silicon oxide and/or silicon nitride is formed on the surface of the substrate.
