摘要
We clarify the mechanism of leakage current through the nanoscale ultrathin silicon dioxide (SiO2) layer in a metal-insulator-semiconductor structure based on the multiple scattering theory when technologically important phosphorus doped polycrystalline silicon is adopted as the gate electrode. We also derive an analytic expression for the direct tunneling current, and show that its measurement presents an excellent opportunity to determine the effective mass of an electron in the SiO2.
