Abstract: | From photoinjection measurements of an Al/Si3N4/SiO2/Si structure, a mechanism is proposed for the charging process of the traps situated in the insulator close to the metallic emitter electrode. A decomposition of the evolution of the barrier in two steps, increase in the barrier height and drift of the position of the barrier maximum, is shown and correlated with spatial depth of filling of the traps in the insulator. A method is deduced for determining the zero field barrier height of the AlSi3N4 interface when a trapped space charge prevents the use of the conventional method, and a value for the scattering mean free path of electrons in Si3N4 is obtained. |
