The electrical characteristics are measured and discussed based upon the effects of surface states between the gate metal and semiconductor. Typical values of the barrier height, ideality factor and surface state density are evaluated as 0.55 eY, 1.34 and 4.2 X 10 12 cm -2 ey-I , respectively. The mean electron affinity at the semiconductor surface is found to be about 0.5-eYsmaller than the bulk electron affinity. Further, the stability of the diode characteristics has been examined.
