Abstract

Tunneling of charge carriers between a metal (or a semiconductor) and traps in an insulator on top of the metal is studied in this paper. The tunneling time constant for a three-dimensional δ-function trap is derived and compared with experiments on metal-nitride oxide semiconductor structures.
