Isa,

We would have to know what you are trying to oxidize in order to help you on
this.
If you are growing an oxide on silicon, you just need enough N2 gas flow to push
the steam into the tube if using a bubbler with the water temp just under
boiling.  Silicon will give you 1um of oxide in 4 hours at 1000c.
