Popis: The development of the structure of ultra-thin SiO 2 layers was monitored during thermal oxidation of silicon in O 2 . The oxide density, mechanical stress and IR-absorption exhibit correlated nonmonotonic kinetics. It is proposed, that these peculiarities result from the relaxation of oxide stress by means of the creation of oxygen vacancies and formation of a less dense structure.
