Abstract
It is shown that the degree of damage of the near-surface layer of p-silicon can be estimated with the aid of a MoOx/p-Si selective contact, the current–voltage characteristics of which are highly sensitive to states on the silicon surface formed during the deposition of silicon oxide by method of magnetron sputtering.
