  • Abstract
    Oxides have been grown on silicon using an oxygen plasma at substrate temperatures less than 600°C in two different oxidation systems. Slices from 18 mm up to 100 mm in diameter have been oxidised and have proved to have similar growth kinetics. Oxide fixed charge levels are in the range 1010¿1011/cm2 with electrical breakdown strengths up to 12 MV/cm.
