摘要: Typical structural defects were studied theoretically in the course of O → Al atomic depositions on basic Si(110) surface. The determined by analyses band gap states and projected densities s- p-states after deposition aimed to form a Si(110)/SiOX/AlOY/γ-Al2O3 slab. extent passivation every step was scanning structure calculated using Density Functional Theory with periodic boundary conditions. optimized surface compared one Si(100) for which more information is available. Our modeling reproduces most features use trimethylaluminium or any other organic ligand as precursor along O2 plasma assisted layer (PA ALD) when ligands are completely oxidized so that their participation can be neglected already shown experimentally. final oxidation corresponds junction slab deposited over γ-Al2O3 fragment, whose super cell (SC) parameters have been selected lead minimum mismatch. Different examples either non-satisfactory accurate fragment (under two different forms) discussed aiming develop route understanding dominant defect types at interface. Such theoretical work should first elaboration computational tools silicon amorphous oxides. latter mainly formed conditions PA ALD depositions. list typical presented characterized density respective around gap.
