A Simple and Effective Route to Annihilate Defects in Nanocrystalline SnO2 Thin Films Prepared by Pulsed Laser Deposition
2007
Detailed computer modelling using finite-element analysis was performed for Si p-n junctions to investigate the effects of surface states and doping concentrations on surface band-bending, surface junction potentials and external patch fields. The density of surface states was determined for our Si specimens with a native oxide layer. Our calculations show that for a typical density of surface states for a Si specimen with a native oxide layer, the effects of external patch fields are negligible and the SE doping contrast is due to the built-in voltage across the p-n junction modified by surface band-bending. There is a good agreement between the experimental doping contrast and the calculated junction potential just below the surface, taking into account surface states, for a wide range of doping concentrations.
