Space-charge controlled conduction in thick metal-insulator-metal barriers

Description

Numerical solutions of the (field and diffusion) transport equations yield energy and concentration contours for thick M1-I-M2 (metal-insulator-metal) barriers, and their appropriate current-voltage relationships, with and without traps. Traps must ordinarily be expected in such films, and it is shown that they result in a curvature of the barrier profile, which exercises a controlling influence over I-V characteristics in the forward direction
