Scanning Tunneling Microscopy Observation Of Single Dangling Bonds on the Si(100)2×1:H Surface
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 March 2011
Abstract
The electrical properties of single dangling bonds on the Si(100)2×1:H surface are investigated by ultra high vacuum scanning tunneling microscopy. On the N-type Si(100)2×1:H surface, single dangling bonds created by feedback controlled lithography and natural dangling bonds have a fixed negative charge. On the other hand, they are observed as neutral on the P-type Si(100)2×1:H surface. Current image tunneling spectroscopy is used to characterize both types of dangling bonds. The dangling bonds with fixed negative charge display a dramatic voltage dependence with Friedel oscillations observed in the empty state images. The neutral dangling bonds appear as protrusions in both the empty and filled state images.
