Abstract
A method is described for forming a silicon dioxide layer on a semiconductor substrate in a furnace heated reaction zone of a chemical vapor deposition reactor having an input end for gaseous reactants wherein the silicon dioxide layer is not subject to degradation during subsequent oxidation cycles. A gaseous chlorosilane is mixed with nitrous oxide gas in the reactor. Oxygen gas is added, between about 0.25% to 10% by volume of total reactive gas mixture, to the chlorosilane and nitrous oxide gases in the reaction zone where the temperature is between about 800.degree. C. to 1200.degree. C. in a pressure of less than about 5 torr to deposit the silicon dioxide layer onto the substrate.
