Band alignment studies in InN/p-Si(100) heterojunctions by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy

TLDR
In this article, the authors determined the band offsets in InN/p-Si heterojunctions by high-resolution x-ray photoemission spectroscopy, finding that the valence band of InN is 1.39 eV below that of Si.
Abstract
The band offsets in InN/p-Si heterojunctions are determined by high resolution x-ray photoemission spectroscopy. The valence band of InN is found to be 1.39 eV below that of Si. Given the bandgap of 0.7 eV for InN, a type-III heterojunction with a conduction band offset of 1.81 eV was found. Agreement between the simulated and experimental data obtained from the heterojunction spectra was found to be excellent, establishing that the method of determination was accurate. The charge neutrality level (CNL) model provided a reasonable description of the band alignment of the InN/p-Si interface and a change in the interface dipole by 0.06 eV was observed for InN/p-Si interface.

Intrinsic electron accumulation at clean InN surfaces.

TL;DR: An intrinsic surface electron accumulation layer is found to exist and is explained in terms of a particularly low Gamma-point conduction band minimum in wurtzite InN, which produces charged donor-type surface states with associated downward band bending.
