In addition to amorphous SiO₂ and Si₃N₄, the two key dielectric film materials used in modern silicon devices, the fabrication technology of nonstoichiometric SiO_xN_y, SiN_x, and SiO_x compounds is currently under development. Varying the chemical composition of these compounds allows a wide range of control over their physical — specifically, optical and electrical — properties. The development of technology for synthesizing such films requires a detailed understanding of their atomic structure. Current views on the atomic structure of nonstoichiometric silicon nitrides and oxides are reviewed and summarized.
