Since the 1960’s many adaptations to the linear parabolic model for silicon oxidation have been proposed. For the purposes of process engineering, curve fitting procedures which are sometimes devoid of physical content but numerically precise are employed. However, a truly unified physical model which is in quantitative accord with all known facts is still lacking. In this review we will discuss the ‘‘facts’’ and newer models.
