Silicon Nitride shorting metal layers

Hello all,
I deposit a 250 nm PECVD SiN layer as the dielectric between two gold layers and
the metal layers seem to be short through the nitride each time. I increased the
nitride thickness to 400 nm and still the same. I gathered that PECVD nitride is
quite notorious for the pinholes so I multi-layered the nitride (6 times of 40
nm each) to get rid of pinholes. It worked only on 1 wafer and then the same
problem again. So I appreciate any comments on this and whether you think
changing the dielectric is a good option.

Thank you,
Nahid
