Abstract
A method of fabricating a silicon nitride layer is described. First, a substrate is provided. Then, a silicon nitride layer is formed on the substrate. The silicon nitride layer is UV-cured in an atmosphere lower than the standard atmospheric pressure. Through the UV curing treatment, the tensile stress of the silicon nitride layer is increased.
