Atomic Layer Deposited Al2O3 films on hydrogen-terminated 6H-SiC(0001) were annealed in hydrogen atmosphere and characterized by admittance spectroscopy measurement and photoelectron spectroscopy (PES). The resultant density of interface trap (Dit) from admittance spectroscopy measurement is reduced near mid gap, but increases strongly towards the conduction band edge. Systematic PES measurements show that hydrogen annealing introduces Si4+ as a new component besides Si0 and Si+. Using different electron escape depths for photon electrons, depth profiling of Si in its different oxidation states was performed. The result indicates the formation of a top SiO2 layer and a rougher interfacial layer containing more Si+ and Si4+ which could be responsible for the strong increase of Dit just below the conduction band edge.

We measured and analyzed the Hall offset voltages in InGaZnO thin-film transistors. The Hall offset voltages were found to decrease monotonously as the electron densities increased. We attributed the magnitude of the offset voltage to the misalignment in the longitudinal distance between the probing points and the electron density to Fermi energy of the two-dimensional electron system, which was verified by the coincidence of the Hall voltage with the perpendicular magnetic field in the tilted magnetic field. From these results, we deduced the combined conduction band edge energy profiles from the Hall offset voltages with the electron density variations for three samples with different threshold voltages. The extracted combined conduction band edge varied by a few tens of meV over a longitudinal distance of a few tenths of µm. This result is in good agreement with the value obtained from the analysis of percolation conduction.

It's highly desired to design an effective Z-scheme photocatalyst with excellent charge transfer and separation, a more negative conduction band edge (ECB) than O2/·O2− (−0.33 eV) and a more positive valence band edge (EVB) than ·OH/OH− (+2.27 eV).
