摘要
We present a Monte Carte (MC) model comprising SiO2 and Si transport, suitable to simulate carrier multiplication in MOS structures. The code extends full-band density of states (DoS) and scattering rate calculations in silicon up to high energy. Simulations of 5-15 nn oxides for Non Volatile Memory applications demonstrate the role of oxide transport on the distribution of the holes generated by impact ionization, which are often regarded as the origin of oxide degradation, SILC and breakdown.
