| Popis: | The generation phenomena and mechanisms of localized interface states at the Si/SiO2 interface, induced by irradiation and post‐irradiation annealing, are investigated by using 60Co γ rays. In a low dose irradiation of less than 1×106 rad, localized interface states having a peak at about 0.2–0.25 eV above the Si midgap are generated. At a higher irradiation dose, a peak of localized interface states generated by a low dose irradiation is eliminated, and is confirmed to be replaced by a peak of localized interface states that bulge near the Si midgap. This phenomenon is difficult to explain by the water related breakage bond model, but can be explained by the Si—O weak bond stable state and the trivalent Si dangling bond caused by the breakage of the Si—O weak bond. In addition, post‐irradiation annealing generates localized interface states, having a steep peak in the Si band gap near the conduction band, which caused the peak of the localized interface states to move toward the conduction band.
