A computational study of SiH bonds as precursors for neutral E? E ? centres in amorphous silica and at the Si/SiO2 interface
Hole-trapping on SiH bond facilitates creation of neutral E? E ? centres. Proton released from SiH bond has a dramatic effect on the defects levels. A proton nearby the neutral E? E ? defect can facilitate electron transfer from Si substrate onto defect.
