Proton-induced fixed positive charge at the Si(100)-SiO2 interface.

Positively charged defects induced by protons at the Si(100)-SiO2 interface are studied through density-functional calculations and realistic interface models. Protons generally preserve the bonding network, but cause the spontaneous breaking of strained bonds leading to threefold-coordinated Si(3)(...
