Description

The structural features of ultrathin (10-15 nm) SiO2 layers thermally grown at 850 degree C both on standard and hydrogen-plasma-treated Si wafers have been studied by IR-spectroscopy, spectral ellipsometry, and computer simulation. The analysis of IR spectra has shown that the structure of standard SiO2layers is characterized by the presence of SiO2Si2 molecular complexes and the relatively large concentration of strained 4-fold rings of SiO4 tetrahedra
