Question: High frequency capacitance versus voltage plots for a metal - insulator - semiconductor ( MIS ) structure are shown at the right ( NdF 3

High frequency capacitance versus voltage plots for a
metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) structure are
shown at the right (NdF3 and SiO2 comprise the
insulator). Four voltage sweeps are indicated where the
bias is applied to the aluminum metal. The first sweep
starts at +5 volts and ends at -5 volts, the second sweep
is in the opposite direction, and the third and fourth
voltage sweeps repeat this cycle
Note that the 2nd and 4th C-V curves exhibit a flatband voltage of about +1.8 volts. Assuming the
NdF3/SiO2 insulator has a bandgap of about 8 eV draw an accurately-scaled band diagram at
equilibrium for this MIS structure after the 2nd or 4th voltage sweep. (Hint: First draw the band
diagram with +1.8 volts applied to the metal.)Al/NdF3/SiO2/Si
