Abstract
0.1 μA cm-2 current spikes have been reported recently in MOS capacitors. The authors attribute this observation to current transients, arising from the staircase sweep of the gate bias, and explain it in terms of the charging and discharging of the silicon space charge layer, and recombination of electrons and holes near the interface
