The Analysis of N Component in Thin Oxide Film Thermally Grown by $NH_3$ Oxidation

The depth profiles of the as-grown and the annealed NH$_3$ oxide film in NH$_3$(7.5%)/$N_2$ ambient at 45$0^{\circ}C$ are analized . This annealing in the ambient of mixed gases removes the small quantities of N component from the NH$_3$ oxide film. In AES analysis, the NH$_3$ oxidation shows the exact stoichiometry of SiO$_2$ and a sharp slop at SiO$_2$/Si interface.
