Hydrogen-Induced Donor States in the Mos System:

Hole Traps, Slow States and Interface States

  • Chapter
Fundamental Aspects of Ultrathin Dielectrics on Si-based Devices

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series ((ASHT,volume 47))

Abstract

We propose that atomic hydrogen, trapped at regular network oxygen atoms, produces a hole trap, a slow state and an interface state. The overcoordinated oxygen configuration resulting from this interaction is associated with an electronic donor state.
