Summary :

The thin aluminum oxide film formed by ECR plasma anodization was studied by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was observed that the composition ratio of the oxygen atom to the aluminum atom is actually smaller than the stoichiometric binding ratio. This result means that oxygen atoms are not easy to be taken into the film during plasma anodization. In other words, the anodization is performed without enough supply of oxygen atoms generated in the plasma. This fact suggests that the oxidation rate is limited by the generation rate of oxygen atom playing an important role in the process of the oxide growth.
