Abstract

A lamination of films is comprised of at least two film layers wherein a first film with the smallest internal stress is provided for the first layer directly on the substrate, and a second film is provided with the second smallest amount of internal stress for the second layer on the first layer, and when more than two layers are provided, additional layers of films are provided with increasing magnitude of internal stress, in sequence, in the direction of lamination from the side of the substrate. In accordance with one aspect, the hydrogen concentration of a silicon nitride layer is controlled to obtain optimum properties of the silicon nitride layer as a buffer layer between a carbon layer and an oxide substrate.
