Description

Results of positron annihilation studies on amorphous silicon nitride thin films (a-SiNx:H) are presented. The chemical structure of the film, determined by FTIR measurements, is related to open type defects present. Samples with the lowest S parameter value exhibit the highest density and possess the best electrical performance. (orig.)
