On the location and stability of charge in SiO2/SiNx dielectric double layers used for silicon surface passivation

Dielectric double layers of thermal silicon dioxide-chemical vapour deposition (CVD) silicon nitride are found to produce excellent passivation of silicon surfaces by combining a chemical reduction of surface defect states, with a field effect reduction of carriers at the surface due to charge in th...
