Monte Carlo simulation of growth of porous SiOx by vapor deposition.

A random network model containing defects has been developed and applied to the deposition of amorphous SiOx films on a flat substrate. A new Monte Carlo procedure enables dangling bonds to migrate and annihilate. The degree of porosity in the films is found to increase with oxygen content. As the o...
