Abstract

SiO2 thin films were deposited at the temperatures < 150°C by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) using a tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS)/N2/O2 gas mixture, and the physical and chemical characteristics as well as the characteristics as a transparent diffusion barrier to H2O were investigated. Using a gas combination of TEOS(40 sccm)/O2(500 seem)/ N2(100sccm) at source power of 500 W and dc bias voltage of-350V, SiO2 with a stoichometric composition of SiO2 and a smooth surface similar to the substrate could be deposited. When a multilayer diffusion barrier composed of parylene(800nm)/SiO2(100nm)/parylene(800nm)/SiO 2(100nm)/parylene(800nm) was formed on a polyethersulfone (PES) substrate, the water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) of the substrate was decreased from 54.1 to 0.3 gm/ (m2-day).
