摘要
The mechanism of thermal oxidation of silicon in dry oxygen was studied using 18O as the tracer. SiO2 layers first grown in natural oxygen (1300-3000 Å) were further grown in highly 18O-enriched oxygen for 8.5 h at 930°C. 18O profiling was carried out using the 629-keV narrow resonance in the nuclear reaction 18O(p,α) 15N. The resulting SiO2 films consist of two 18O-rich layers, 7% near the SiO2 surface and 93% near the Si-SiO2 interface, while the bulk 18O concentration is very low. The results suggest that the oxide grows mainly through long-range migration of oxygen, favoring models based on the transport of molecular oxygen.
