Notes:
We develop a theoretical model to obtain the stress in oxide films occurring during thermal oxidation of silicon. The model results in a prediction of 4.5×109 dyn/cm2 for the interfacial stress, in excellent agreement with laboratory measurements. Moreover, we establish generally that the interfacial stress is proportional to 1−γ, where γ is the molar volume ratio of reactant to product. For silicon oxidation, γ=4/9, and the resulting stress is compressive.
