ABSTRACTInteraction of the solvents tetrahydrofuran, diethyl ether, methylene chloride, toluene, o-xylene, benzene, and methanol with luminescent porous n- Si (PS) results in reversible quenching of the luminescence associated with this material. The degree of quenching ranges from 99% – 50%, and scales with solvent dipole moment. Reaction with gaseous Cl2, Br2, or I2 results in irreversible quenching, associated with a surface reaction that removes Si-H bonds. Total luminescence quenching is observed on treatment of a PS wafer with a solution of the electron donor ferrocene in toluene, suggesting that charge transfer quenching may also be operative in this material. Luminescence is partially recovered by rinsing the PS in pure toluene. The data show that photoluminescence of PS is highly sensitive to surface adsorbates, suggesting that carrier trapping is easily induced in this material.

AbstractThe magnitude of the dipole moment at the Si-SiO2 interface resulting from partial charge transfer that takes place upon the formation of interface bonds has been calculated. The charge transfer occurs because of the difference in electronegativity between silicon atoms and SiO2 molecules which are present across the interface. Results obtained for (100) and (111) silicon substrates indicate that the magnitude of the interface dipole moment is dependent on substrate orientation and the interface chemistry. Dipole moments at the Si-SiO2 and gate-SiO2 interfaces should be included in the definition of the flatband voltage VFB of MOS structures. CV-based measurements of the metal-semiconductor workfunction difference φms on (100) and (111) silicon oxidized in dry oxygen and metallized with Al agree with the predictions of this model. Other types of interface dipoles and their processing dependence are briefly discussed.
