  • Abstract
    In this paper, we have studied the resonant tunnelling phenomena between a tungsten tip and ultrathin SiO/sub 2/ films on silicon substrate, including native SiO/sub 2/ films and ultrathin UHV thermal in-situ oxidized SiO/sub 2/ films on Si(111). Though it is believed that the ERT behavior depends greatly on those factors which could lead to the electron scattering, we found that dramatic ERT behavior could also be observed.
