Abstract
The addition of small amounts of gaseous hydrogen chloride into the dry-oxygen-gas stream during thermal oxidation has been found to reduce by one order of magnitude the surface-state density at the silicon-dioxide-silicon interface. Effects of silicon orientation, low-temperature annealing and hydrogen-chloride concentration within the oxidising atmosphere have been investigated by using the quasistatic technique.
