Abstract:
The potential distributions and current-voltage characteristics of a metal-insulator-semiconductor tunnel structure have been theoretically studied in the case of spherical geometry. It is established that this geometry leads to a significant change in the potential distribution and, hence, in the tunneling currents as compared to a planar case. In many other respects, the spherical structure behaves like the planar system based on a stronger doped substrate.
