Abstract
We investigated effects of interface roughness on the local valence electronic structures at SiO2/Si interface in order to clarify the relation between interface structures and interface electronic properties, by using soft X-ray absorption and emission spectroscopy. For atomically smooth interface, the local valence structures depend on intermediate oxidation states at the interface. For atomically rough interface, on the other hand, the local valence structures at the interface show amorphous-like electronic states irrespective of the intermediated oxidation states.
