Cu will get oxidized in the air to form very thin CuO. In SiN PECVD, you
will have only 3SiH4 + 2NH3 +N2 ==> Si3N4 (film) + 9H2. There is no O2.
People have been using SiN as Cu diffusion barrier in advanced Cu CMOS
technology for very long time.

> No, you can't. Cu will quickly by oxidized in PECVD chamber.

>> Yes. You can. SiN layer can be used as Cu diffusion layer.
