Figure 1 illustrates electron transport across silicon dioxide, from a silicon substrate to a metal gate. If there are many dangling bonds (either silicon dangling bonds or oxygen dangling bonds), due ...

Quantum Tunneling can now be explained by the very small amplitude of the electron wave that moves past the energy barrier. The presence of some of the wave on the other side of the barrier ...
