STUDY OF SURFACE STATES IN SEMICONDUCTORS.

Abstract

Surface states on silicon oxidized by both thermal and anodic growth have been studied by two complementary experimental techniques - the pulsed field effect, and capacity measurements over a wide range of frequency and temperature. The two have revealed similar surface levels, and have led to the following conclusions: anodic oxidation creates an inversion layer on N-type silicon, which can be removed by heat treatment; and thermal oxidation leads to increased dislocation density, and results in reduction of the surface state density.
