Abstract
New evidence suggesting that the structure of thermally grown silicon dioxide films may not be totally amorphous is presented. Mathematical deconvolution of the Si¿O absorption at 1075 cm¿1 consistently reveals two distinct Gaussian lineshapes. Possible sources for these derived peaks are discussed.
