Theoretical Limit for the SiO2 Thickness in Silicon MOS Devices

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: NATO Science Series II: Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry ((NAII,volume 185))

Abstract

Fundamental limitations for the minimum thickness of the SiO2 layer as the gate insulator in silicon MOS devices, resulting from quantum-mechanical outflow of electron wave functions from the semiconductor region are considered.
