摘要: For the first time, structure has been found in electron tunneling characteristics of a metal-oxide-semiconductor tunnel junction an amorphous semiconductor. In present study semiconductor is phosporus-doped hydrogenated silicon. The results have analyzed to determine surface density states over part forbidden gap. basic features density-of-states distribution are agreement with field-effect measurements reported for this material.
