The effect of high temperature annealing processes on the SiO2 film structure was investigated. SiO2 growth rate, etch rate, refractive index, stress, curvature values, film densities, and film structures were investigated with different analysis methods. In addition, impurities arising from the by-products of the reaction of TEOS and O2 were detected in the SiO2 film. AFM and RAMAN were used for the contamination detection analysis.}, number={2}, publisher={Turkish Chemical Society}
