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.
