The actual creation of silicon oxide starts at about the 7:45 mark, with an exploration of the effect of time in the furnace on layer thickness.

In contrast, silicon monoxide (SiO), the most common oxide of silicon, is used in optical coatings, lamps, mirrors and other optical applications. See silicon and silica gel.

Other research on ReRAMs has focused on transition metal oxides. In contrast, silicon-oxide-based devices are entirely CMOS-compatible. Silicon oxide deposition uses well known chemistry and mature ...
