  • Abstract
    An experimental investigation of breakdown in metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) structures was performed. It is suggested that the theoretical approaches developed for liquid dielectrics be used for breakdown of thin amorphous solid-state films. The solid amorphous dielectric layers are shown to be a good model system to test ionization mechanisms of liquid breakdown
