Abstract

The Fowler-Nordheim (FN) tunneling of electrons into thermal SiO2 at high levels of injection has been studied. A modified I-V measurement technique has been developed to correct for charge trapping phenomena, which are unavoidable under the high field and current conditions. It is shown that the results fit a universal FN type current-field dependence which is insensitive to oxide thickness and free of the commonly observed hysteresis phenomena.
