Selective absorption of nonstoichiometric silicon nitride (SixNy) thin films on silicon substrates was studied by infrared (IR) spectroscopy in the region of wavenumbers 500–7500 1/cm. For the transmission and reflection spectra of SixNy layers of various thicknesses the analysis of the absorption band of the Si-N stretching vibrations in the region 700–1100 1/cm with the peak at 820–900 1/cm was carried out. The absorption coefficient for IR radiation at wavenumber 850 1/cm was found to be about 1.02 1/um. The estimated absorption of IR radiation in SixNy layers with thicknesses in the range of 270–1300 nm was found of 45–64% depending on layer thickness.
