Abstract
A new interface defect spectroscopy method based on variable height charge pumping capable of observing the amphoteric nature of Si/SiO2 interface states in production quality sub-micron devices is demonstrated. It can help to resolve the long standing debate about the true nature of Si/SiO2 interface states. Additionally, we show that this is a powerful technique for studying other important material systems.
