Charge capture by surface states in heat-oxidized germanium

  • Published:
Soviet Physics Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

It is shown that heat-oxidized germanium surfaces are distinguished by low density of fast surface states, low surface-recombination rates, and high stability. The dependence of the charge of heat-oxidized surface on heating temperature in vacuum is interpreted on the basis of the heterojunction model.
