Metal-induced gap states

ID: metal-induced-gap-states

Metal-induced gap states (MIGS) are electronic states that can form in the band gap of a semiconductor when a metal is in contact with it. These states emerge due to the interaction between the metal and the semiconductor's surface, which can modify the electronic structure. When a metal is deposited on a semiconductor, the Fermi level of the metal aligns with the energy levels in the semiconductor, creating an interface.
