A thorough characterization of stress-induced leakage currents (SILCs) for
a 10nm-thick oxide, by using the floating-gate technique, is presented. The
obtained current is modeled by a volume-limited conduction mechanism. Expe
rimental and model suggest that SILC conduction mechanism is the same in th
in as well as in thick oxides. (C) 1999 Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
