Abstract

Temperature and frequency dependencies of the electrical properties of SiO2/nanocrystalline Si (nc-Si)/SiO2 sandwich structures have been studied. A clear positive shift in capacitance-voltage (C-V) and conductance-voltage (G-V) characteristics suggests electron trapping in nc-Si dots. The role of interface states and deep traps in these devices has also been examined, which shows that they have little effect on the overall device performance.
