Temperature Dependent Current-Voltage Characteristics in Thin SiO2 Films
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 February 2011
Abstract
An analysis of the Fowler-Nordheim tunneling (FNT) theory and its application to temperature dependent current-voltage characteristics, of very thin films of SiO2 on silicon, is presented. The final results are believed to provide the most complete examination of FN emission theory and predict the breakdown electric field in thin SiO2 films. The role of the roughness, at the Si-SiO2 interface, in determining the FNT current in these structures is also discussed.
