Abstract

A near Σ25 grain boundary has been studied electrically in FZ-silicon at various degrees of n-doping. The boundary is electrically active without previous heat treatment. A unique density-of-states can be derived from dc and ac measurements at all dopings and temperatures investigated. The model of the charged g.b. includes potential fluctuations in the g.b. plane. Admittance spectroscopy allows to differentiate between g.b. states and deep centers its the compensating space charge zone.
