摘要
From spectroscopic ellipsometry measurements in the 1.5-5.7 eV photon energy range we determined the complex dielectric function of thermally grown germanium dioxide in the 1.0-6.3 eV range. A Kramers-Kronig consistent dispersion formula utilizing an exponential-shaped optical band edge was used in conjunction with both previously published far ultraviolet absorbance data for amorphous GeO2 and our spectra. These measurements show that epsilon-2 for GeO2 can be regarded to be zero in the range of E < 5.5 eV, which differs from a previous report. Using these new optical results for the investigation of oxide growth, we find that GeO2 grows via a parabolic growth law with a growth constant, k(p)=1.2 X 10(-19) m2 s-1 at 550-degrees-C.
