We report an opposite band bending at GeO 2 /Ge interface of p-and n-type Ge. The results are discussed from the viewpoints of the charge neutrality level (CNL) position in Ge and oxygen vacancy in GeO 2 , respectively. Moreover, passivation effects by post-annealing in O 2 ambient and growth oxidation pressure on the above results are also discussed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
