摘要
Stress in SiO2 formed by oxidation of crystalline (c-Si) and hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) at temperatures ranging from 850-1060 degrees C in dry O-2 (H2O < 3 ppm) and in dry O-2 contaminated with hydrogen was studied. During the oxidation the a-Si:H films underwent crystallization and the resultant oxide stress was compressive or tensile depending on the oxidation temperature. Oxides grown on c-Si in dry O-2 contaminated with hydrogen showed higher compressive stress than that characteristic for dry oxidation of c-Si.
