Popis: The growth of thermal oxides in high pressure dry oxygen has been investigated and compared with oxides grown at 1 atm. The outer layers of the high and low pressure oxides are almost identical but the interfaces are significantly different. The 1 atm oxide interface contains InPO4, In2O3, and elemental P. The high pressure oxide interfaces contain InPO4, In2O3, and P2O5. This suggests that the high pressure causes O2 to diffuse to the interface where it reacts with the P to form P2O5.
