Abstract

Si epitaxial regrowth was realized through the thick interfacial oxide films of up to 2 nm by H2 annealing. The epitaxy took place in an anomorous region when the oxide was reduced to about a half of its initial peak height, indicating that about a half of the interfacial oxide films in areawise was completely reduced. In this region, redis-tribution or diffusion of super-saturated oxygen was also observed.

A schematic model of the epitaxial regrowth by H2 annealing is presented.
