Initial Oxidation of SiliconCraig P. Taylor, Colorado School of Mines, DMR 0820518 O2 O2 • No barrier for the first O2 adsorption on H-Si. • High effective barrier originates from coverage dependence and diffusion barriers. • CH3-Si more resistant to oxidation because O2 must react with ligand first. • Provides a new, microscopic picture of Si oxidation CH3 H H-Si(111) CH3-Si(111) Li et al.
