Abstract

The stability of excess Si around the Si-oxide/Si interfaces is studied using the first-principles calculation. The excess Si is suggested to flow into the oxide from the substrate. The excess Si flowing into the oxide becomes SiO interstitials with the O-vacancy-like structure, which can be one of the sources of the E'-centers or the charge traps in the oxide. This Si flow is expected to be rather easier because SiO interstitials can be created via a simple rebonding procedure in the oxide.
