17. In principle, the minimal equivalent circuit configuration that is sufficient to qualitatively describe the characteristic Debye-like step in ε′ and the corresponding feature in ε″ or σ′ includes only three elements: the sample conductance and capacitance and the contact capacitance. A very general equivalent circuit for a metal-insulator-semiconductor interface, including 14 elements, is considered in the work of R. S. Nakhmanson, Solid-State Electron. 19, 745 (1976). The circuit used in the present work represents a good compromise between simplicity and accuracy.
