Chemistry of Silicon (Z=14)

Silicates. Silicon is most commonly found in silicate compounds. Silica is the one stable oxide of silicon, and has the empirical formula SiO 2. Silica is not a silicon atom with two double bonds to two oxygen atoms. Silica is composed of one silicon atom with four single bonds to four oxygen molecules (Figure 2).

Excellent passivation of germanium surfaces by POx/Al2O3 stacks

Surface passivation of germanium has been a significant challenge, 17 which can be ascribed to the difficulty in forming a stable and high-quality interfacial layer on germanium. Recently, several passivation schemes on germanium have been investigated, many of which were inspired by silicon surface passivation, including Al 2 …
