The porous fluorine doped silica (SiO2:F) films were prepared by sol-gel method. The densities of the states (DOS) of the SiO2:F films and the effect of the dose of the F dopant were studied by space charge limited current(SCLC) techniques. Distribution of defect states N(E) in the vicinity of Fermi level in SiO2:F films was determined to be about 7×1015cm-3·eV-1. The dangling bounds on the surface of the porous film were the primary cause of the DOS.
