Oxidation characteristics of silicon exposed to O(1D2) and O(3P2) radicals and stress-relaxation oxidation model for O(1D2) radicals

Abstract: We investigated the oxidation of silicon by O(1D2) and O(3P2) radicals in a microwave plasma at 673 K in an Ar/O2 atmosphere containing a small amount of hydrogen. O(1D2) radical oxidation with hydrogen gave a much higher growth rate than wet thermal oxidation at 1223 K. The activation energies for the parabolic rate constant owing to O(1D2) and O(3P2) radical oxidations were respectively 0.18 and 0.40 eV, which are much lower than that (0.71 eV) by thermal oxidation. In time-dependent dielectric breakdown tes… Show more
