Abstract :
Some optical properties of a-SiNx and a-SiOxNy films deposited by LPCVD method are studied. Refractive index measured by ellipsometry method and IR absorption are studied as a function of some deposition parameters: temperature of deposition, gases flux ratio. The high value of deposition temperature means low values in refractive index. More oxygen into films decreases the refractive index. The refractive index dispersion is studied by single-oscillator model
