Materials produced by different deposition processes are compared. Films grown from light hydrocarbons and monosilane on the one hand and films of polymerized organosilanes deposited in wet chemical on the other are described. These outer ends are set in relation to a third class of films made by plasma polymerization. These were deposited from liquid organosilanes avoiding hazardous conditions and starting materials. All three groups show promising photoluminescence and waveguiding properties, and these are discussed.","PeriodicalId":406922,"journal":{"name":"1998 International Semiconductor Conference.

The results are compared to experimental data and are shown in good agreement. It appears from this work that the biased ring technique is rugged towards dV/dt up to 3000 V//spl mu/s, but the SIPOS one fails to protect the device for dV/dt equal to 300 V//spl mu/s.","PeriodicalId":406922,"journal":{"name":"1998 International Semiconductor Conference.
