Point Defects Interaction with Extended Defects and Impurities and Its Influence on the Si-SiO2 System Properties

Article Preview

Abstract:

The type and density of the point defects that are generated in the Si surface layer during thermal oxidation depend on the oxidation condition: temperature, cooling rate, oxidation time, impurity content. The interaction between point defects with extended defects and impurities affect the Si-SiO2 interface properties. The influence of point defects may be diminished and the interface properties improved by an appropriate choice of oxidation conditions.
