  • Abstract
    Integral expressions for the gate leakage current in a MOSFET are derived on the basis of Schottky emission across the gate insulator and on the internal self-heating due to device power dissipation. Computer evaluation of these integrals yields gate leakage current curves that exhibit the same characteristics observed experimentally.
