Abstract

Experimental studies of the low temperature (800° C) processing and characterization of thermally grown films of SiO2 on Si in the thickness range of 1 to 20 nm is reported here. Breakdown voltage, High Resolution Transmission Electron Microscopy (HRTEM), Electrolyte Electro Reflectance (EER), single wavelength and Spectroscopic Ellipsometry (SE) techniques have been employed to characterize these films. Nearly Free Electron (NFE) model such as that of Penn is then employed to interpret the energies corresponding to the peak in the EER & SE spectra.
