  • Abstract
    The energy distribution of hole traps in Si 3N 4 was determined by thermally stimulated depolarisation spectroscopy. Taking into account the Poole-Frenkel effect, the maximum energy in the trap energy distribution is found to be 1.07 eV, and the full width of half maximum (FWHM) is 0.18 eV, which is dominated by the electrostatic potential fluctuations in Si 3N 4.
