Hh. Berger et al., OXIDE-GROWTH ENHANCEMENT RELATED TO ANNEALING-INDUCED ARSENIC ACCUMULATION IN THE SI SIO2 INTERFACE REGION/, Journal of the Electrochemical Society, 143(1), 1996, pp. 15-16
A comparison of steam oxidation enhancement (at 800 degrees C) of high
ly arsenic-doped Si samples, having an arsenic accumulation (''pile-up
'') in the Si/SiO2 interface region caused either by annealing at 1000
degrees C or by the oxidation process itself, shows that the enhancem
ent is related to the arsenic accumulation.
