Estimation of the Number of Injected Interstitial Atoms during Nitrous Oxidation of Silicon
Keyword(s):
ABSTRACTIn this work we use dislocation loops to monitor the interstitial injection during the oxynitridation (oxidation in 100% N2O ambient) of silicon at low temperatures (850–950 °C). The interstitials captured by the loops are measured using Transmission Electron Microscopy. The number of Si atoms released after oxynitridation was calculated from the difference in the total amount of atoms stored in the loops between oxidizing and inert ambient. We obtained that this number is larger compared with the respective under the same dry oxidation (in 100% O2 ambient) conditions.
