Abstract
Simulation of a thin oxide RAS spectrum obtained by using the dielectric function extracted from thick oxide RAS spectra is shown to be a viable method for the comparison of oxide films of differing thickness. Bulk and near-interfacial features of thermally grown SiO2 thin films were studied by this method and it was found that the LO phonon peak at about 1255 cm−1 reflects bulk SiO2 structure and a higher reflectance between 1100 and 1200 cm−1 reflects SiO2/Si interface structure.
