DISLOCATION ELECTRONIC STATES FROM SCHOTTKY DIODES IN SILICON

Abstract
By high frequency measurements at liquid nitrogen temperature of the capacitance as a function of the applied bias on Schottky Pd2Si-Si diodes, obtained from previously deformed Si, it has been possible to confirm the validity of the model of the half-filled band associated with the dislocations, with the energy level of the neutral dislocation at 0.40 eV above the valence band
