Consider a MOS capacitor made with p-type silicon. It has an oxide thickness of 100 nm, a fixed positive oxide charge of $10^{-8}$ C/cm2 at the oxide-silicon interface, and a metal work function of 4.6 eV. Assume that the relative permittivity of the oxide is 4 and the absolute permittivity of free space is $8.85 × 10^{-14}$ F/cm. If the flatband voltage is 0 V, the work function of the p-type silicon (in eV, rounded off to two decimal places) is ______.
