Abstract

A molecular dynamics simulation of amorphous SiO2 thin films has been made to investigate the structure and internal stress. The atomic configuration of the amorphous structure is investigated through the radial distribution function and the distribution of Si-O-Si bond angles. Distribution of internal stress through the specimen is evaluated from the volume and the shape of the SiO4 tetrahedron, which is the elementally unit of amorphous SiO2.
