2 at 750 °C and 850 °C. The oxide and interface morphology are characterized by cross-sectional scanning electron microscope images. It is found that the oxidized nanowire following oxidation at 750 °C still keeps its pentagon shape even if it has been oxidized for 19 h. However, the oxidized samples at 850 °C become circular in shape. The oxidation-temperature dependence of the sample shapes is discussed. Our results should be useful in generating silicon nanowires coated with SiO2 in microelectronic technology with careful selection of the SiO2 growth temperatures.
