Popis: This paper presents a study on the growth of SiO x thin films deposited by electron gun evaporation of SiO under O 2 reactive atmosphere. The composition x of the films was determined by spectroscopic ellipsometry using the random bonding model (RBM) provided that the parameters used in the original model of Aspnes and Theeten [J. Appl. Phys. 50 (1979) 4928] were adapted to the growth conditions. The composition depended mainly on the flux ratio of the species arriving on the surface. This model had to be slightly modified to take into account the composition of the films evaporated without oxygen, exhibiting a x value of 1.2 instead of 1, and the incorporation of O 2 in the growing film.
