Hello,
I deposited SiN on fully cured polyimid (@350C) using PECVD at 250.
Polyimid will be removed to release nitride membrane. However,
I found the cracking of the nitride film. Our PECVD nitride film has
fairly low tensile stress ~150Mpa. So, is the cracking due to the CTE
mismatch between SiN and polyimid? Has anyone done similar experiments?
Thanks
