Electronic local and total density of states calculations have been performed using tight binding models on the (110) surface of a group IV and III-V semiconductor. Ge and GaAs are taken as prototypes and the surface is assumed to be unrelaxed. Several new surface states are obtained near the bottom of the valence bands. The origin, localization, and character of the surface states are examined.
