PHOSPHORUS-NITROGEN-OXYGEN FILM AND METHOD FOR MAKING SUCH FILM

摘要

A method is described which forms amorphous phosphorus-nitrogen-oxygen material having excellent thermal stability and low reactivity to a wide variety of chemicals. The material is manufactured using a chemical vapor deposition process. The reaction chamber is maintained at a temperature between about 400 DEG -900 DEG C. with a suitable substrate placed therein. Reaction gases containing phosphorus-nitrogen-bearing compounds and a source of oxygen are passed through the chamber to deposit the phosphorus-nitrogen-oxygen film onto the substrate.
