摘要
We have observed two-state systems (TSSs) in electrically stressed metal-oxide-silicon field-effects transistors, by studying random telegraph signals at low temperatures. The TSSs are related to defects close to the Si/SiO2 interface. The asymmetry energy epsilon is linear in gate voltage, permitting for the first time measurement of the dissipative tunneling rate as a function of epsilon independently of magnetic field. The electron coupling strength a lies in the range 10(-3) to 10(-2), allowing comparison with the standard theory in the previously unexplored regime of weak coupling.
