Area of Science:
- Optics
- Optical Engineering
Background:
- A previous publication in Applied Optics (Vol. 35, p. 2439, 1996) contained printing errors.
- Several figures within the original publication were illegible, hindering comprehension.
Purpose of the Study:
- To correct printing errors in a previously published article.
- To provide legible versions of key figures for accurate scientific interpretation.
Main Methods:
- Reprinting of illegible figures from the original publication.
- Brief review and commentary on the reprinted figures.
Main Results:
- Legible versions of previously obscured figures are now available.
- The reprinted figures maintain the integrity of the original data presentation.
Conclusions:

Biasing of Metal-Semiconductor Junctions
Biasing metal-semiconductor junctions involves applying a voltage across the junction. Specifically, the metal is connected to a voltage source, while the semiconductor is grounded. This technique is essential for controlling the direction and magnitude of current flow in electronic devices, including diodes, transistors, and photovoltaic cells.
In Schottky junctions, where the semiconductor is n-type, applying a positive voltage to the metal relative to the semiconductor reduces its Fermi...

MOS Capacitor
A Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (MOS) capacitor is a fundamental structure used extensively in semiconductor device technology, particularly in the fabrication of integrated circuits and MOSFETs (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors). The MOS capacitor consists of three layers: a metal gate, a dielectric oxide, and a semiconductor substrate.
The metal gate is typically made from highly conductive materials such as aluminum or polysilicon. Beneath the metal gate lies a thin layer of...
