Abstract

Examines the oxidation of polycrystalline SixGe1-x films with different compositions in pyrogenic steam for various lengths of time. Enhancement of oxidation by the presence of germanium; Rejection of germanium; Piling up of germanium at the interface between the growing SiO2 and the remaining SixGe1-x; Interdiffusion of silicon and germanium.
