Abstract
An attempt is made to investigate theoretically the gate capacitance of MOS structures of Si having p-channel inversion layers in the presence of a quantizing magnetic field under weak electric field limit by formulating the appropriate modified 2D energy spectra of heavy, light and split-off holes, respectively. It is found that the gate capacitance exhibits spiky oscillations with changing magnetic field. This is in qualitative agreement with the experimental observations reported elsewhere for n-channel inversion layers on Si. It is further observed that the sharpness of the spikes increase with increasing magnetic field whereas the depths are found to decrease with increasing thickness of the insulating layer.
