Stress Effect on Oxidation Kinetics of Silicon with Different Surface Orientations
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 February 2011
Abstract
Thermal oxidation of different crystallographic surface orientations of Si reveals a complex rate behavior not only in the initial stage but also in sequential two step oxidation with high temperature annealing where enhanced oxidation is observed as well. These phenomena are explained by the reduction of oxygen solubility in SiO2 due to stress in the SiO2 film, which has been confirmed by isotope labeling oxidation with SIMS analysis.
