- A gate oxide is grown in 640 torr of water vapour at 1050o C. The oxide is grown on a bare (100) silicon wafer. The oxidation time is 2 mins. i) Assuming the tau (τ) value is zero, use the Deal–Grove model to predict the oxide thickness. Do not use design curves. For simplicity, when estimating B and B/A, assume the values are a linear function of temperature, rather than the actual exponential function. ii) When this process is run, the measured oxide thickness is 0.1 µm, but the oxidation rate after 2 mins agrees with the B/A ratio. Find the value of τ that should be used for these process conditions to allow for the initial rapid growth regimearrow_forwardDoes the size of an ion affect the magnitude of the activity for varying ionic strengths? Does the activity coefficient depend on whether the ion is a cation or an anion?arrow_forwardFor a one-component system draw a schematic labelled phase diagram given that at low T and low p, phases α and β are in equilibrium; as the temperature and pressure rise there comes a point at which phases α, β, and γ are all in equilibrium; at high T and high p, only phase γ is present; at low T and high p, only phase α is present.

- All changes in kinetic and potential energy may be ignored. All pressure losses due to friction may be neglected. Ideal conditions must be assumed where necessary. Do the calculations needed to find the pressure at this point. Choose the closest value that will reduce the amount of interpolation needed. 1.1. Find the pressure (kPa) and temperature (K) at Points 1 to 7.. Assume ideal conditions where necessary. ASSUMPTIONS made at each point MUST be STATED clearly at the specific point.1.2. Find the enthalpy at Points 8 to 15 (kJ/kg), Pump work must be included. Assume ideal conditions where necessary. ASSUMPTIONS made at each point MUST be STATED clearly at the specific point.1.3.
