摘要
The high temperature oxidation of Si(001) produces a 13 Angstrom thick oxide consisting of four or five layers with uniformly graded composition, ranging from monovalent at the Si interface to quadrivalent at the surface. Once nucleated, the oxide layer rapidly reaches full thickness and then grows laterally, A few atomic layers of the underlying elemental Si are measurably perturbed by the sub-oxide overlayer.
