Popis: The SiO2/Si-interface of a thin oxide layer formed thermally under low O2 pressure is investigated. The electronic structure and the chemical bondings are analyzed with low-energy electron energy loss spectroscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The combined results show that either a Si2+ suboxide layer or a layer which contains a considerable amount of Si2+ is localized at the SiO2/Si interface region with a thickness of 2–3 A.
