Abstract
In this work, we give some insights on the charging and discharging pr operties of electron traps created in gate oxide by homogeneous electr on injection with the aim at further relating them to breakdown. We pr esent a new procedure for determining the electrical properties of the se traps. A model based on trap to band tunneling gives an estimation of their energy levels in the oxide gap.
