Abstract

Optical second-harmonic (SH) generation is used to monitor the anodic growth of oxide on a (001) Si surface. The measured SH intensity is dominated by the nonlinear optical response of the space charge region in the Si just below the Si/oxide interface. The interface SH technique can detect the onset of H desorption, identify the flat band potential, and probe the evolution of space charge within the growing oxide layer.
