INTERFACE STATES AT T H E SiO2-Si INTERFACE M SCHULZ Instttut fur Angewandte Phystk der Umversttat Erlangen- Nurnberg, Gluckstrasse 9, D -8520 Erlangen, Fed Rep of Germany Received 31 August 1982, accepted for publication 26 October 1982

The present understanding of interface states at the SiO2-SI interface is reviewed Typical results of measurement techniques are presented and critically discussed with respect to identification of types and origins of interface states Only one type of interface state is observed after strong hydrogen annealing The density of these interface states decays from D . > l0 I° cm -2 e V - ' near the conduction band to extremely low values of D . __
