Dry oxidation has a lower growth rate than wet oxidation although the oxide film quality is better than the wet oxide film. Therefore thin oxides such as screen oxide, pad oxide, and especially gate oxide normally use the dry oxidation process. Dry oxidation also results in a higher density oxide than that achieved by wet oxide and so it has a higher breakdown voltage

In case of wet oxidation where water is use instead of oxygen, the water molecule can dissociate at high temperatures to form hydroxide OH that can diffuse in the silicon faster than molecular O2. Therefore the wet oxidation process has a significantly higher oxidation rate than the dry oxidation. It is used to grow thick oxides such as masking oxide, blanket field oxide, and the LOCOS oxide.

The difference between wet-bulb and dry-bulb temperature is called?

The difference between wet-bulb and dry-bulb temperature is called the Wet-Bulb Depression. It is a measure of air humidity, with a larger depression indicating higher humidity levels.


Whats the difference in rocks?

Rocks vary in mineral composition, texture, and origin. Igneous rocks are formed from magma or lava, sedimentary rocks are made from weathered materials or organic debris, and metamorphic rocks are altered by heat and pressure. Each type has distinct characteristics that result from their formation processes.


What is the difference between a dry and wet objective lens?

A dry objective lens is used without any immersion medium, while a wet objective lens requires a drop of immersion oil to improve resolution and clarity by reducing light refraction. Wet objectives are typically used for higher magnification and numerical aperture applications in microscopy.


How is tropical wet climate similar to a tropical wet-and-Dry climate How are they different?

In The Online World It Says That, "They are alike because they both receive precipitation; they are different because in tropical wet there are rain forests. In tropical wet-and-dry there are savannas."


On a cold winter day the air temperature is 2C and the wet-bulb temperature is -1C What is the relative humidity at this location?

51%.... open to the Relative Humidity chart in the reference tables. the wet bulb temperature is -1C and the dry bulb temp. is 2C, making a difference of 3C. On RH chart, go down to 3C column (difference between the Wet bulb and dry bulb) until it intersects the dry bulb 2C. At this intersection is 51%
