Crystallographic anisotropy in the surface properties of oxidized germanium

  • Published:
Soviet Physics Journal Aims and scope

Abstract

The initial surface potential and the charge captured in fast surface states as a function of surface potential are measured for germanium surfaces oriented in the planes (111), (110), and (100) by the method of field effect on a large sinusoidal signal. Before measurements the specimens were oxidized in air at temperatures of 400, 500, and 600°C. A dependence of the quantities measured upon crystallographic orientation of the surface was observed. The effect of a transverse electric field on the initial surface potential bias was studied.
