摘要
We report the calculation of gate leakage currents through the ultra-thin gate oxides (2.6–3.4 nm) in MOSFETs. We simulate J-V characteristics for the direct tunneling of valence electrons and inversion layer holes, which are measured using a charge separation technique. A two-band model is employed to express the complex band structure of the gate oxide, and its validity is discussed by calculating the complex band structure of β-cristobalite based on the second nearest neighbor sp3s* tight-binding scheme. © 2002, Kluwer Academic Publishers.
