Abstract

High quality silicon nitride thin films can be deposited by plasma CVD onto large area glass substrates at high deposition rates by adjusting the spacing between the gas inlet manifold and substrate, maintaining the temperature at about 300.degree.-350.degree. C., and a pressure of at least 0.8 Torr. Subsequently deposited different thin films can also be deposited in separate chemical vapor deposition chambers which are part of a single vacuum system.
