Comparative contribution for Silicon oxides
1. Introduction
Due to its dominant role in silicon devices technologies [1, 2] the SiO2/Si interface has been intensively studied in the last five decades. The ability to form a chemically stable protective layer of silicon dioxide (SiO2) at the surface of silicon is one of the main reasons that make silicon the most widely used semiconductor material. This silicon oxide layer is a high quality electrically insulating layer on the silicon surface, serving as a dielectric in numerous devices that can also be a preferential masking layer in many steps during device fabrication. Native oxidation of silicon is known to have detrimental effects on ultra-large-scale integrated circuit (ULSIC) processes and properties including metal/silicon ohmic contact, the low-temperature epitaxy of silicide and dielectric breakdown of thin SiO2 [3]. The use of thermal oxidation of Si(100) to grow very thin SiO2 layers (~ 100Ǻ) with extremely high electrical quality of both film and interface is a key element on which has been built the success of modern MOS (metal-oxide-semiconductor) device technology [4]. At the same time the understanding of the underlying chemical and physical mechanisms responsible for such perfect structures represents a profound fundamental challenge, one which has a particular scientific significance in that the materials (Si, O) and chemical reaction processes (e.g. thermal oxidation and annealing) are so simple conceptually.
As a result of extreme decrease in the dimensions of Si metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistor device (MOSFET), the electronic states in Si/SiO interfacial transition region playa vital role in device operation [5]. The existence of abrupt interfaces, atomic displacements of interface silicon and intermediate oxidation states of silicon are part of different experiments [6, 7]. The chemical bonding configurations deduced from the observed oxidation states of silicon at the interface are the important basis for the understanding of the electronic states. The distribution of the intermediate oxidation states in the oxide film and the chemical bonding configuration at the interface for Si(100) and Si(111) were investigated [5] using measurements of Si 2p photoelectron spectra. One of the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results is that the difference for <100> and <111> orientations is observed in the intermediate oxidation state spectra. Ultra thin SiO2 films are critical for novel nanoelectronic devices as well as for conventional deep submicron ULSIC where the gate oxide is reduced to less than 30Ǻ. Precise thickness measurement of these ultra thin films is very critical in the development of Si- based devices. Oxide thickness is commonly measured by ellipsometry [8] but as film thicknesses is scaled down to several atomic layers, surface analytical techniques such as XPS become applicable tools to quantify these films [9]. An XPS measurement offers the additional advantage of providing information such as surface contamination and chemical composition of the film.
The purpose of the present section is to study the chemical structure modifications at the surface on semiconductors (e.g. Si, GaAs) by XPS, (angle resolved XPS) ARXPS and (scanning tunneling microscopy) STM techniques. It will be studied the variation of the interface for native oxides and for thermally grown oxides. This analysis will be the base for
A silicon dioxide layer is often thermally formed in the presence of oxygen compounds at a temperature in the range 900 to 13000C. There exist two basic means of supplying the necessary oxygen into the reaction chamber. The first is in gaseous pure oxygen form (dry oxidation) through the reaction: Si+O2→SiO2. The second is in the form of water vapor (wet oxidation) through the reaction: Si+2H2O→SiO2+2H2. For both means of oxidation, the high temperature allows the oxygen to diffuse easily through the silicon dioxide and the silicon is consumed as the oxide grows. A typical oxidation growth cycle consists of dry-wet-dry oxidations, where most of the oxide is grown in the wet oxidation phase. Dry oxidation is slower and results in more dense, higher quality oxides. This type of oxidation method is used mostly for MOS gate oxides. Wet oxidation results in much more rapid growth and is used mostly for thicker masking layers. Before thermal oxidation, the silicon is usually preceded by a cleaning sequence designed to remove all contaminants. Sodium contamination is the most harmful and can be reduced by incorporating a small percentage of chlorine into the oxidizing gas. The cleaned wafers are dried and loaded into a quartz wafer holder and introduced in a furnace. The furnace is suitable for either dry or wet oxidation film growth by turning a control valve. In the dry oxidation method, oxygen gas is introduced into the quartz tube. High-purity gas is used to ensure that no impurities are incorporated in the oxide layer as it forms. The oxygen gas can also be mixed with pure nitrogen in order to decrease the total cost of oxidation process. In the wet oxidation method, the water vapor introduced into the furnace system is usually creating by passage a carrier gas into a container with ultra pure water and maintained at a constant temperature below its boiling point (1000C). The carrier gas can be either nitrogen or oxygen and both result in equivalent oxide thickness growth rates.
The structure of SiO2/Si interface has been elusive despite many efforts to come up with models. Previous studies [11-13] generally agree in identifying two distinct regions. The near interface consists of a few atomic layers containing Si atoms in intermediate oxidation states i.e. Si1+ (Si2O), Si2+ (SiO) and Si3+ (Si2O3). A second region extends about 30Ǻ into SiO2 overlayer. The SiO2 in this layer is compressed because the density of Si atoms is higher for Si than for SiO2. Different structural models [14-17] have been proposed for SiO2 on Si (100), each predicting a characteristic distribution of oxidation states, and most of the models assume an atomically abrupt interface. From experiments was observed [1] at interface the existence of a large portion of Si3+, and the model in accord this observation is that of an extended-interface for SiO2/Si (100) by minimizing the strain energy [17]. Relatively new models (’90 years) are based for SiO2/Si (100) and SiO2/Si (111) on the distribution and intensity of intermediate oxidation states. These models are characterized by an extended interface with protrusions of Si3+ reaching about 3 Ǻ into the SiO2 overlayer.
Experimental techniques as the one presented in this work were used to determine the structure of the interface, its extend and to appreciate its roughness.
2. Investigation techniques
The XPS recorded spectra were obtained using SPECS XPS spectrometer based on Phoibus analyzer with monochromatic X-rays emitted by an anti-cathode of Al (1486.7 eV). The complex system of SPECS spectrometer presented in Fig.1 allows the ARXPS analysis, UPS and STM as surface investigation techniques.
A hemispherical analyzer was operated in constant energy mode with a pass energy of 5 eV giving an energy resolution of 0.4 eV, which was established as FWHM (full width half maximum) of the Ag 3d5/2 peak. The analysis chamber was maintained in ultra high vacuum conditions (~ 10-9 torr). As a standard practice in some XPS studies the C (1s) line (285 eV) corresponding to the C-C line bond had been used as reference Binding Energy (BE) [18]. The recorded XPS spectra were processed using Spectral Data Procesor v 2.3 (SDP) software. In its structure the SDP soft uses the deconvolution of a XPS line as a specific ratio between Lorentzian and Gaussian line shape and these characteristics ensures a good fit of experimental data.
In Fig.2 is presented the TOA angle considered in the equation for oxide thickness evaluation as presented in [3, 19, 20, and 21].
The oxide film thickness doxy is determined by the Si 2p core level intensity ratio of the oxidized silicon film Ioxy and substrate silicon Isi by:
reference [9]
where
The value for this ratio was experimentally obtained taking into account the intensity for the line SiO2 (Si4+) in a thick layer of oxide (where the signal for the bulk silicon is not present) reported to the intensity of Si0 line in bulk silicon (where the oxide do not exists e.g. after Ar+ ion sputtering).
It is well known however that large discrepancies exist for the photoelectron effective attenuation length in SiO2 where values from 2 to 4 nm have been reported and compared to theoretical prediction for the inelastic mean free path. The ARXPS measurements are dependent on the value of sinθ, and the ratio Ioxy/ISi will be computed only for SiO2 oxide (Si4+). The electron inelastic mean free path (IMFP) λ is analyzed and computed in terms of the Bethe equation for inelastic scattering which can be written [22]:
For electrons in the range (50-200) eV [7, 8] the computed IMFP is presented in the form of TPP-2M formula:
E-electron energy (in eV)
β= -0.10+0.944/ (Ep2 + Eg2) + 0.069 ρ0.1
C= 1.97- 0.91 U
D= 53.4 – 20.8 U
U = NVρ/ A (NV- total number of valence electrons per atom or molecule, ρ- density (gcm-3), A- atomic or molecular weight, Eg-band gap, Ep- plasmon energy)
For Ep which is the free- electron plasmon energy (in eV) it was used the formula
as is mentioned in reference [21].
For compounds NV is calculated from the sum of contributions from each constituent element (i.e. NV for each element multiplied by the chemical or estimated stoichiometric coefficient for that element) [19].
The explored depth of surface layers by XPS technique can be adjusted by the variation of θ angle.
where d is the distance between the conductors, and as an important message the reason why STM works, is the exponential dependence of the tunneling current on the distance between conductors. Typical values for tunneling voltage are from few mV to several V, and for the current from 0.5 to 5 nA. The tip-sample distance is a few Angstrom; the tunneling current depends very strongly on this distance. A change of 1 Å causes a change in the tunneling current by a factor of ten. In practice, the tunneling voltage is not always very small. Especially for semiconductors materials a small tunneling voltage can be impossible because there are no carriers in the gap which can be involved in the tunneling. This means that STM can look at both, occupied and unoccupied states of the sample depending on the bias voltage.

3. Native oxides
Silicon samples Si (100) were exposed to a naturally oxidation process for a long time decade (years) in atmosphere. A thin layer of native oxide was grown, that was firstly put into evidence by a color surface change. In Fig.3 the Si 2p spectra present two lines where the lower binding energy is associated with Si0 (bulk) and the higher binding energy is associated with Silicon dioxide. The Si 2p oxide line intensity increases with the increase in oxide thickness while the Si 2p substrate line intensity decreases [24].
In Fig.4 –are presented the Si 2p lines in crystalline Silicon and in Silicon oxides for the spectra taken at TOA:250, 550 and 750 for native oxides. As a general remark: in superimposed spectra as the TOA increases the signal from Si0) bulk) is more prominent. For the sample Si (oxidized) the deconvolution for Si core levels 2p lines are related to specific Binding Energies (BE) for Si0(A), Si1+ (Si2O-B), Si2+(SiO-C), Si3+(Si2O3-D) and Si4+(SiO2-E) as presented in Fig.5 at TOA= 250.
As it was mentioned [1] the structure of the interface Silicon Oxide/Silicon consists of two regions. The near interface contains few atomic layers of Si atoms in intermediate oxidation states i.e Si1+(Si2O), Si2+(SiO) and Si3+(Si2O3). A second region extends about 30Ǻ into SiO2 overlayer [1]. As a general remark we assert that although the deconvolution has a slight arbitrary degree in S0 sample, it prevails the sub oxides with high oxidation states (e.g. Si3+). Regarding the measurement of oxide thickness the ratio Ioxy/ISi in the oxidation state Si4+ (SiO2) can be evaluated for the sample S0 and the computed value is in accord with the presented theory of Electron Inelastic Mean Free Path (IMFP) as presented in literature since 1994, and conduced to the value doxy~23.6Ǻ for native oxide.
Oxidation states for Si | Results in our experiment BE(eV) | BE(eV) Reference[1] | Composition table (%) |

Si1+ | 100.58 | 100.45 | 2.7 |

As an example of a native oxide analysis on semiconductors we present a less extended technological case, the one of GaAs. The GaAs (100) surfaces have a high surface energy [25], and as a consequence they are very reactive and chemically unstable. Due to the reactivity of the native oxides is difficult to reach the passivation of GaAs surfaces. Bare arsenic atoms are thought to be one of the species present within the native oxides responsible for pinning the Fermi level [26]. The arsenic atoms result from chemistry that occurs at the oxide/GaAs interface. Both As2O3 and Ga2O3 will form when a clean GaAs surface is exposed to oxygen and light. The formation of Ga2O3 is thermodynamically favored and results in the reaction: As2O3+2GaAs→Ga2O3+4As leaving bare arsenic atoms embedded within the oxide near the oxide/GaAs interface. The As2O3 is also mobile at grain boundaries, resulting in a nonuniform oxide in which an As2O3-rich layer is found near the oxide/air interface, and the bare arsenic atoms are found embedded within the Ga2O3-rich layer near the oxide/ GaAs interface. In native oxide layer, both Ga2O3 and As2O3 are somewhat soluble in water and their solubility is dependent on pH. The complicated chemistry of the GaAs native oxides has prevented the development of a simple and robust surface passivation scheme for this surface. IN the ARXPS measurement the Ga and As 3d spectra from the as received (naturally oxidized) GaAs surface taken at TOA: 150,200,300,500,900 as presented in Fig. 6 in a proportional ratios. For As, the signal from 41 eV corresponds to As in the volume (GaAs matrix) and the signal near the broad peak of 44 eV is related to As oxides: As2O3 together with As2O5. The As signal from TOA: 150 is the most sensitive to the surface structure, due to a similar peak intensities arising from oxide (interface) and volume (GaAs).As presented in Fig.7 at small analysis angles the As and Ga
concentrations grows and at the most surface sensitive angle the concentration of C and O is higher than the concentrations for As and Ga. For the native oxidized sample the atomic surface composition Ga/As ratio is related to the entire signal arisen from surface and volume. The Ga signal arises from 19.1 eV (GaAs) and 20.3 eV (Ga2O3) [27]. The As to Ga ratio in the bulk is close to a stoichiometric value of 1.05. For Ga to As ratio in naturally oxidized sample (storage for years) this ratio revealed the contribution of As and Ga from native oxides in the surface layer. The concentration of Ga oxide is greater than of As oxide and from this fact resulted a Ga enrichment in the air exposed GaAs, an observation in accord to reference [28].
As can be observed at high TOA angles the concentration ratio CC/CO is low and it grows to low TOA angles corresponding to the surface layer. For concentration ratio CGa/CAs on an extended range of angles is constant in a prime approximation, with a slight increase at small TOA angles. The evolution of ratio for contaminants to GaAs (CC+CO/CGa+CAs) is related to an increase at low TOA angles, as a main result of oxidation to the GaAs surface. We conclude that the surface native oxide comprise a mixture of Ga2O3, As2O3 and As2O5 phases
4. Silicon/oxide interface
The Silicon oxide samples were prepared for different analysis by cleaning in organic solvents, and chemical etching in aqueous solution of hydrofluoric acid. There were examined samples exposed to air oxidation for a long period of time together with samples maintained for 2-3 hours in atmosphere after a chemical etching as well as chemical etched fresh samples. In this experiment there were used as substrates p-Si (100) and p-Si (111) of medium resistivity. The ARXPS spectrum of O 1s and C 1s are presented in Fig.9
The ARXPS spectra of Si 2s and Si 2p for the same sample exposed to natural oxidation is presented in Fig.10
The proposed deconvolution of Si 2p XPS spectra for TOA: 900 and TOA: 150 (the most sensitive angle for the surface composition are presented in Fig.11 (a and b).
The deconvolution for the XPS spectra of Si 2s are presented in Fig.12 (a and b) firstly at TOA:900, secondly at TOA:150 as surface sensitive angle.
In Fig.11 (a) the A and B peaks are related to the signal of Si0 2p ½ and Si0 2p 3/2, and the peaks of C, D, E and F are related to the signals of sub-oxides as it follows: Si1+, Si2+, Si3+ and Si4+. In Fig.11(b) is presented the surface composition for the XPS signal for Si0 2p1/2 and 2p 3/2 (A and B peaks) and for Si1+(C), Si2+(D), Si3+(E) and Si4+(F). The most interesting part of the presented deconvolution is related to the signal of Si 2s that has important similarities with Si 2p spectra, that means in Fig. 12(a) and Fig.12 (b) the presence of Si0 for A peak, and related sub-oxides as follows: Si1+ (B), Si2+(C), Si3+(D), Si4+(E). As can be observed in Fig.12 (b) the surface composition is similar as order of magnitude for the signal of Si 2p and Si 2s, and we also notice that the information of XPS spectra related to Silicon/Oxide interface for Si 2s is rare in literature experimental data. For the Binding Energy BE Si 2p3/2= 99.67 eV the shift BE Si 2p3/2 (Si)-BE Si2p3/2 (SiOx) we have the following results: Si1+-0.9 eV, Si2+-2.1eV, Si3+- 3.5eV and Si4+-4.5 eV For the Binding Energy BE Si 2s (Si)=150.51 eV the shift BE Si 2s-BE Si 2s (SiOx) we have the following results: Si1+-0.97 eV, Si2+- 1.79 eV, Si3+-2.96 eV, and Si4+-4.11 eV.
In Fig.13 (a) we present the variation of composition with TOA angle that means from bulk (right) to surface (left) for Si, SiOx, and SiO2 for the signal of Si 2p. As can be observed at TOA:900 the signal of Si0 from the bulk is high and is decreasing near the surface at a TOA: 150. At this angle of surface sensitivity the ARXPS signal is related to the presence of oxides, firstly for SiO2 (green) and secondly for SiOx (blue). In Fig.13 (b) is presented the concentration variation from the bulk to the surface of ARXPS signal for Si 2s. As can be observed the concentration curves for Si0, SiO2 and SiOx are similar for Si 2p and Si 2s signal. For the ARXPS deconvolutions for Si 2p and Si 2s the positions for Si1+- Si4+ are matching in the limit of experimental errors.
In Fig.14 is presented the variations for different concentration ratios in the surface area for the XPS signal Si (2p) and Si (2s). The proposed experimental concentration ratios are CSi0/Cox, and CSi4+/CSiOx at different angle orientations in ARXPS signal. As can be observed there is an experimental accord between the ARXPS data between the Si (2p) and Si (2s) data starting from the bulk to the surface, the concentration of Si4+ is higher in the surface region, a surface with natural oxidation.
In Fig.15 is present an experimental case of comparison between the XPS spectra of native oxide SiO2 in Si and native SiO2 (quartz) and quartz exposed to different ion etching. In the case of second ion etching it can be observed a shoulder in the XPS signal both on Si (2p) line and Si (2s) line, this shoulder is related to the appearance of a sub-oxide, probably Si3+.
In principle, the thickness of the native amorphous oxide layer on top of silicon wafers (usually in the range of 2-3 nm) may be directly measured on cross-section images of transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Although the task seems easily achievable, we would like to explain the technical difficulty of the procedure. Cross-section specimens for TEM observations are prepared by gluing against each other fine stripes of Si diced from the original wafer. The obtained sandwich is afterwards mechanically grinded followed by ion milling until a hole is produced in the interface region. The thin border of the created hole represents the useful area for TEM investigations. It is expected that TEM images at high magnification of the wafer surface to reveal the native amorphous layer. The impediment consists in the fact that the assembling resin holding together the two stripes of Si is also amorphous, showing the same contrast as the native amorphous silicon oxide layer, which makes it rather difficult to distinguish the limit between the two amorphous materials in contact.
In our case, a cross section specimen has been prepared from a Si(100) wafer by mechanical grinding and lapping on the two sides of the assembled Si-Si sandwich followed by ion milling at low incidence angle (7 degrees) and 4 kV ion accelerating voltage in a Gatan PIPS installation. The ion milling procedure has been ended with a fine milling step at low voltage (2 kV) in order to remove the amorphous layer created by ion milling and enveloping the surfaces exposed to ion beam. The TEM observation of the prepared specimen has been performed on a JEOL 200CX electron microscope.
For a better observation of the amorphous surface layer, the cross-section specimen has been oriented in the microscope along the [110] zone axis as shown in the Selected Area Electron Diffraction pattern inserted in Fig. 16 (a). This way, the strongly diffracting crystalline object, the Si wafer, shows a strong dark contrast, allowing to clearly seeing the interface between the crystalline Si and the amorphous layer on the surface. In the thicker areas of the TEM specimen, the assembling resin has not been removed during the ion milling preparation stage (Fig. 16(a)). Here, the limit between the amorphous SiO2 layer and the amorphous assembling resin is rather difficult to notice. However, the contrast difference between the two amorphous materials allows one to measure the thickness of the SiO2 layer. One can notice the roughness of the crystalline Si wafer and the amorphous band with a rather constant thickness (about 2.5±0.5 nm) running along the surface.
In the thinner areas of the specimen (Fig. 16 ( b)), the assembling resin has been removed by ion milling while a band of amorphous material with the same thickness (2.5±0.5 nm) running parallel to the crystalline surface is still observable.
We conclude, therefore, that the thickness of the amorphous Si layer on top of the Si(001) wafer measured by TEM is 2.5±0.5 nm.
As it was stated in previous works [29, 30, 31] the interface between crystalline Si and its amorphous native oxide SiO2 is the basis for most current computer technology, although its structure is poorly understood. In this line, the study of the structural properties of water near a silica interface by classical and
