Abstract
Thick oxide layer was fabricated by anodic reaction and complex oxidation performed by combining low temperature thermal oxidation (50$0^{\circ}C$, 1 hr at $H_2O$/O$_2$) and a RTO (rapid thermal oxidation) process (105$0^{\circ}C$, 1 min). Electrical characteristics of OPSL (oxidized porous silicon layer) were almost the same as those of thermal silicon dioxide prepared at high temperature. The leakage current through the OPSL of 20${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ thickness was about 100 - 500 ㎀ in the range 0 V to 50 V. The average value of breakdown field was about 3.9 MV/cm. From the XPS analysis, surface and internal oxide films of OPSL prepared by complex process were confirmed completely oxidized and also the role of RTO process was important for the densification of PSL (porous silicon layer) oxidized at low temperature.
