Novel mechanism for tunneling and breakdown of thin SiO2 films

View publication

Abstract

It is suggested that resonant tunneling via defect-related states is an important mechanism for high-field carrier injection into thin SiO2 films of metal-oxide-semiconductor structures. A model is also proposed for high-field insulator breakdown which cannot be explained by available theories. © 1983 The American Physical Society.
