The paper presents an acoustic method for determining the parameters of fast surface states in semiconductors. This method uses the interactions of the photon-electron type for determining both the effective carrier life-time τ influenced by the fast surface states and the velocity g of the carrier trapping by surface traps. Some experimental results of the parameters r and g on a real (111) Si surface, obtained by this method of investigation are presented.
