oxidation recipe

[Raymond Woo]

We ran an oxidation test this afternoon with 4 wafers using the recipe 
that Robin suggested below.  The actual ramp rate was a bit low (~60 
deg/sec) but that can probably be fixed with an optimized recipe.  The 
ellipsometer measured oxide thicknesses varied between 102A and 117A. 
 From TSUPREM simulations this corresponds to a worst case temperature 
error of between 5 and 10 deg.  I've kept the individual wafer 
printouts, so if anyone would like the more detailed results just let me 
know.

First Wafer: avg=108 std dev=2.8
Second Wafer: avg=102 std dev=3.9
Third Wafer: avg=115 std dev=3.0
Fourth Wafer: avg=117 std dev=3.8
