Popis: Thermal oxidation of silicon is usually described by the Deal–Grove model with its linear-parabolic relationship between oxide thickness and time deduced from Evans’ stationary basic approach. In order to improve the relationship, other models add correction terms to the Deal–Grove expression. However, none of these models have gained widespread acceptance as being able to describe all relevant influences. In this work, another approach was chosen where experimental data given by Blanc were used to be fitted to arbitrary functions. This procedure does not involve any hypotheses or models of oxidation. Quite the contrary, the derived coefficients of the fit functions enable conclusions with respect to underlying physical processes. Two main conclusions could be drawn
