✦ Synopsis
A thermodynamic model is derived which describes the growth kinetics of the Buried Oxide (BOX) layer in Silicon On Insulator (SOI) structures due to the oxidation of the superficial silicon layer. The model is based on the assumptions that this oxidation induces a supersaturation of interstitial oxygen in the superficial silicon layer and that this supersaturation is proportional to the growth rate of the external thermal oxide. We compare the model with the two data sets available and discuss the discrepancies in terms of different supersaturations in the superficial silicon layer induced by thermal oxidation.

We reported a simple method to grow good-quality CoSi 2 film by using Si cap technology and introducing moderate Ni. First, a cobalt layer of $15 nm with a Si cap layer with a different thickness deposited onto the Si surface with a thin silicon oxide buffer is applied to investigate the formation o
Thermal decomposition of porous ZnO under high-flux solar irradiation is considered. The process is well described by a transient ablation model that couples radiation, conduction, and convection heat transfer to an Arrhenius-type kinetic rate law with a pre-exponential factor dependent on the poros
