Current-voltage characteristics of Al–SiO2–Si structures

Abstract: Experimental results are presented on conduction, breakdown, and switching in Al–SiO2–Si MOS dots. Transitions from the low-conduction state are found to terminate in self-healing breakdowns. There also exists a higher-conduction state in which destructive breakdowns do not occur.

“…7 that spikelike currents appear below 5 MV/cm. As one of the causes, we can suggest a well-known ''self-healing effect'', [36][37][38] in which material is removed from the Al electrode by the breakdown and then the device returns to the low-conductivity state. Breakdowns occur at defects like pinholes in silicon oxide films.…”
