Silicon Oxidation Studies on Thin Film Silicon Oxidation Formation
Abstract
The formation of thin Silicon dioxide 2 films via thermal oxidation on single crystal Si substrates has been found to depend on the method of Si cleaning, impurities on the Si surface, the Si crystal orientation, film stress, and the availability of electrons at the Si surface. Recent studies on these topics are recounted along with a framework for understanding. No fully acceptable model for thin Si02 formation yet exists, but recent studies lead in new directions towards this goal.
