  • Abstract
    Low-temperature thermal oxidation (850°C) of hydrogen plasma cleaned crystalline silicon in thin film regime is studied and is compared with that of standard RCA cleaned Si. The results show that silicon hydrogenation temperature plays an important role for the oxidation rates and the quality of the formed Si/SiO2 structures. Correlation between the kinetics constants and the oxide and interface parameters is established.
