Abstract

Kinetic data are provided for oxidation of Ge+-ion implanted Si over a range of temperature and oxidation ambient. Oxidation rates were enhanced in implanted Si and, over most of the range studied, found to be consistent with a modified reaction at the oxide/Si interface. However, this reaction is shown to be more complex than in virgin Si and could not be represented by a single activation energy. An anomalous behavior is exhibited at low-temperature for steam oxidation. This behavior is characterized and the mechanisms which are responsible are discussed.
