    The effect of post-oxidation treatments in nitric oxide (NO) on the interface defects in (100) Si/SiO2 is studied by EPR spectroscopy and nuclear analysis techniques. Results show that the interface structure is modified due to a self-limiting, localized incorporation of NO at the interface. The modified interface has an intrinsic interface defect density of less than or equal to 10 sup11 cm sup-2. NO thermal treatments open the possibility for the growth of H-free low defect density Si/SiO2 structures. 22 refs.
