摘要
We have reported both the experimental results of the flat interface formation and its mechanism based upon the theoretical analysis of the oxygen radical transport in the grown SiO2. We obtained the logarithmic dependence of the oxide film thickness on the oxidation time on the assumption that the deactivation of the oxygen radicals is proportional to the concentration. The characteristic length "a" of the oxygen radicals plays an important role in forming the flat interface.
