  • Abstract
    A semi-quantum model of tunnel current through N-polysilicon/Oxide/N+-silicon structure is implemented in order to simulate transient behavior of an EEPROM memory cell. This model depends on the sheet charge, electron impact frequency on the interface and tunneling probability. A comparison of this model with Fowler-Nordheim model is given
