Mention the chemical reaction for oxidation process

(a) Si + 2H2O –> SiO2 + 2H2

(b) Si + O2 –> SiO2

(c) 2Si + 2H2O –> 2SiO2 + 2H2

(d) 2Si + 2H2O + 2O2 –> 2SiO2 + 2H2 + O2

The question was posed to me in class test.

My question comes from Basic Planar Process topic in section IC Fabrication of Linear Integrated Circuits

Correct answer is (a) Si + 2H2O –> SiO2 + 2H2

Unlock profound understanding with: For oxidation process, silicon wafers are heated to a high temperature and simultaneously they are exposed to a gas containing H2O or O2 or both.
