Deposition of Silicon Oxide can be done with either LPCVD, PECVD, by sputtering, by e-beam evaporation, or by ALD. You can also make a silicon oxide layer by growing a [[Specific Process Knowledge/Thermal Process/Oxidation|thermal oxide]] in a hot furnace but that requires a silicon surface as a starting point.
Deposition of Silicon Oxide can be done with either LPCVD, PECVD, by sputtering, or by e-beam evaporation. It is also possible to grow silicon oxide using a silicon surface as a starting point. This can be done with wet chemistry in a beaker (see below), or as a [[Specific Process Knowledge/Thermal Process/Oxidation|thermal oxide]] in a hot furnace.

Formerly we also had the option to sputter silicon oxide using the [[Specific Process Knowledge/Etch/IBE⁄IBSD Ionfab 300|IBE Ionfab300]]. You can read more about that [[Specific Process Knowledge/Thin film deposition/Deposition of Silicon Oxide/IBSD of SiO2|here]].

==Deposition of Silicon Oxide using ALD==
Formerly it was possible to deposit thin films of silicon oxide up to 50 nm in the [[Specific Process Knowledge/Thin film deposition/ALD2 (PEALD)|ALD2]]. This is unfortunately no longer possible. You can read about the results of depositions in the past here: [[Specific Process Knowledge/Thin film deposition/ALD2 (PEALD)/SiO2 deposition using ALD2|Deposition of Silicon Oxide using ALD2]].
