  • Abstract
    The authors have performed a detailed calculation of the vertical electric field in a MOSFET, taking into account polysilicon gate depletion, quantum-confinement effects in the channel, and the anisotropy of the effective mass. It is shown that thin oxides do not exhibit higher actual breakdown fields than thick oxides
