摘要
Exposure of Si/SiO2 and SiC/SiO2 interfaces to hydrogen in the temperature range of 450-800 degrees C is found to produce a considerable density (up to 10(13) cm(-2)) of positively charged centers. The absence of any correlation between the charging process and the presence of Si dangling bond centers in SiO2 or at the Si/SiO2 interface indicates hydrogen bonding in a valence alternation state which is suggested to be an over-coordinated oxygen center [Si-2=OH](+) stabilized by SiO2 network rearrangement at the interface.
