摘要: High-resolution near edge x-ray absorption spectroscopy and photoelectron were used to characterize ultrathin plasma-nitrided silicon oxides. The direct observation of interstitial molecular N2 was made by vibrationally resolved N K-edge spectroscopy. molecules trapped during the plasma nitridation at surface could be eliminated annealing via out-diffusion.
