  • Abstract
    Fluorine-doped thin silicon dioxide films were synthesized by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition of tetraethoxysilane and CF 4, and the dielectric strength was measured with a self-healing breakdown technique by applying short duration voltage pulses. As a result, the film containing a higher amount of fluorine has a higher dielectric strength. The reason for this increase is discussed from various aspects, and two persuasive mechanisms are presented
