Abstract
The expression for silicon oxide growth proposed by Nicollian and Reisman for thermal oxidation is applied to corona discharge oxidation. The model parameter values indicate that at a given temperature the latter is more reaction rate controlled than thermal oxidation. The higher oxidation growth rate for the corona discharge oxidation is attributed to relaxation of the oxide network.
