Abstract

The oxidation of suspended Si nanowires is studied under wet and dry conditions. The nanowire characteristics are extracted from Electron Microscopy images. In parallel, the Deal and Grove model is extended to cylindrical geometry. The used model also assumes that stress effects reduce the oxidation rate and predicts the retardation of oxide growth on curved surface, leading to a self-limited process. The model predictions show a good agreement with experiments.
