Description

This short review of scientific terms mainly deals with the electron energy level alignment at metal semiconductor interfaces. The energy level alignment relies on various elements such as the concept of thermal equilibrium, physics and chemistry of the materials comprising the interface and peculiar characteristics of the interface itself. In this review efforts have been devoted within the allotted space to include as many scientific terms as possible and to explain them as neatly as possible. The author, however, finds a difficulty to fill the big gap in the general concept and the historical background between two interfaces of metal with inorganic and organic semiconductors. This makes it impossible to universally explain the scientific terms, and in some cases separate explanations had to be made.
