Abstract
A method of forming a silicon carbide layer, a silicon nitride layer, an organosilicate layer is disclosed. The silicon carbide layer is formed by reacting a gas mixture comprising a silicon source, a carbon source, and a fluorine source in the presence of an electric field. The silicon nitride layer is formed by reacting a gas mixture comprising a silicon source, a nitrogen source, and a fluorine source in the presence of an electric field. The organosilicate layer is formed by reacting a gas mixture comprising a silicon source, a carbon source, an oxygen source and a fluorine source in the presence of an electric field. The silicon carbide layer, the silicon nitride layer and the organosilicate layer are all compatible with integrated circuit fabrication processes.
