Abstract
It is demonstrated experimentally that the observed surface density of state peaks near the band edges, obtained from the Terman analysis of the capacitance−voltage characteristics of silicon MOS capacitors, can be attributed to areal inhomogeneities of oxide charges. An excellent quantitative match between theory and experiment is obtained after an extension of the theory of the C−V characteristics of inhomogeneous samples to include the real surface state densities.Keywords
