ABSTRACTThe influence of N2O oxidation of silicon on the kinetics of point defects at high temperatures is investigated. Oxidation Stacking Faults (OSF) are used to monitor the interstitials that are generated during the oxidation process. We show that at high temperatures (1050°-1150°C) the supersaturation of self-interstitials in the silicon substrate is enhanced when oxidation is performed in an N2O ambient compared to 100% dry oxidation. This behavior is attributed to the presence of nitrogen at the oxidizing interface. However, at lower temperatures this phenomenon is reversed and oxidation in N2O ambient leads to reduced supersaturation ratios.
