Research on hydrogenous species in the Si-Si02 system is reviewed and examined. Some aspects of thermal silica on silicon are explained by comparison with crystalline quartz or bulk amorphous fused silica. Hydrogen behavior in the Si-Si02 system is complicated by the unique features of device processing technology, an electrified interface, and high electric fields. An electrochemical model of the negative-bias-field-induced degradation of the system is used as a starting point for discussion of diffusion and solubility, atomic H disposition, thermochemical phenomena, and radiation damage. It is thereby hoped to provide new approaches for complete modeling of hydrogen physical chemistry in the Si-Si02 system.

Abstract The Indentation Size Effect (ISE) in Fused Silica and Crystalline Quartz were measured by both Knoop and Vicker indenters and both exhibited a crossover for the different indenters at about the same indentation load. The crossover can be explained by the ratio of the (surface area/indentation volume) from the geometries of the two indenters.

The release of tritium from single crystalline quartz and from fused silica has been measured following 40 keV ion bombardment to a dose of 4 × 1011 ions/cm2. The release can be explained by normal volume diffusion with D0=101±1 cm2 sec-1 for both materials and activation enthalpies of (42 ± 5) kcal/mole for quartz and (52 ± 5) kcal/mole for fused silica. Release from quartz is faster than release from fused silica. This latter diffusion process, however, is essentially slower than diffusion of hydrogen during permeation. Possible reasons for this discrepancy are the existence of radiation damage due to the ion bombardment or the chemical state of hydrogen which cause a different elementary process for mass transport: Hydrogen diffuses in molecular form during permeation whereas probably tritium atoms or ions will diffuse following ion bombardment.
