Q1: Does this product have a CAS number?
A: Silicon (CAS 7440-21-3) and silicon dioxide (CAS 7631-86-9) are listed separately; however, this is a physical composite structure—not a chemical compound—so no unified CAS number is assigned per IUPAC and regulatory guidelines.
Q2: What is the recommended storage condition to preserve oxide integrity?
A: Store in Class 100 cleanroom environment at 20–25°C and 30–50% RH, inside nitrogen-purged, static-dissipative wafer carriers; avoid prolonged ambient exposure (>4 hours) prior to processing.
Q3: How does dry oxide compare to wet oxide in terms of breakdown field and interface trap density?
A: Dry oxide exhibits higher dielectric strength (~10 MV/cm vs. ~6–8 MV/cm for wet oxide) and lower interface trap density (Dit ≈ 1×10¹⁰ eV⁻¹cm⁻² at mid-gap) due to reduced hydrogen incorporation and slower growth kinetics.
Q4: Is leachable silicon or silica detectable under standard aqueous extraction protocols (e.g., USP <661.1>)?
A: No measurable leachables are observed under USP <661.1> simulated extraction conditions (water, 50°C, 24 h); the thermally grown SiO₂ layer is chemically inert and non-porous, with negligible ion release (<0.1 ppb Si by ICP-MS).
