Abstract
The index of refraction of oxides grown on silicon in dry oxygen has been found to be a function of the growth temperature. There is an orientation effect for oxides grown at low temperatures. The index decreases with temperature, saturating above 1190°C at 1.4620, a value consistent with the index of fused quartz when stress corrections are made. The apparent density of oxide grown at 800°C is 3% greater than that grown above 1190°C. The complex index of refraction of silicon at 5461Å has been determined to be 4.086 ‐ i0.031.
