ENERGY DEPENDENCE OF ELECTRICAL PROPERTIES OF INTERFACE STATES IN Si–SiO2 INTERFACES

Abstract
Measurements of the energy dependence of surface‐state density, capture cross section, and frequency dispersion were undertaken with the MOS conductance technique. Capture cross sections are constant in the depletion range and decrease exponentially towards the band edge. The frequency dispersion factor is independent of surface potential for wet oxide and becomes very small at the flatband point for dry oxides.
