Gas effects on the interface state spectrum of MIS devices

A semiautomatic measurement system has been developed for investigating the electronic structure of the interface between an insulator and a semiconductor. The associated microcomputer possesses advanced software which leads to simple operation particularly when used in the real time mode. An attrac...
