Abstract in Englisch:

A preparation procedure based on localized electrochemical oxidation unites multiple metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) junctions (also arrays) in a single device. The "stepped MIS" enables a comparative study of several MIS junctions of different oxide thicknesses on one silicon wafer. We present a Si-SiOx-Au four-step device with oxide thicknesses of 0, 1, 2.5, and 4 nm. The samples are characterized by internal photoemission using variable wavelengths (300-1100 nm). The " 1 nm " junction shows an increased photosensitivity compared to the " 0 nm " junction (metal-semiconductor system). The internal photoemission drops by 2 orders of magnitude when increasing the oxide thickness from 1 to 4 nm. © 2009 The Electrochemical Society.
