Generally accepted facts along with unanswered questions, concerning the four charges, Qss, Qo, Nst, and Not, associated with the thermally oxidized silicon system are presented and briefly discussed. The discussions and information presented are based on comprehensive investigations carried out in the semiconductor industry over the past ten years. Although reasonably good empirical information concerning charge dependence on device processing is available, much remains to be learned regarding the physical origin of these charges. A simplified model is presented which indicates that most of the charges can be related to silicon bond defects in the thermally oxidized silicon structure.In May 1962, the first complete technical session to deal with passivating properties of thermal oxides on silicon was held at the Electrochemical Society Meeting in Los Angeles, California. Prior to that, the only significant work on the subject was from Bell Laboratories, where such scientists as Atalla, Law, Ligenza and Spitzer, Frosch and Derrick, and others (1), had provided the background for oxide passivation of silicon devices.
