Plastic analysis of cylinder oxidation

A plastic flow model is used to calculate the stress generated during thermal oxidation of silicon cylinders. The analysis is used to estimate stress as a function of thickness, radius of curvature, and temperature. The oxidation stress is much lower than previous analyses.
