Abstract
Hot electron transport in MOS transistors is investigated by means of a coupled silicon/oxide Monte Carlo (MC) simulation. First, a new MC simulator able to handle selfconsistently different materials is developed. Then, the impact of oxide transport on the gate current (I/sub G/) is analyzed comparing different injection models with experiments. It is shown that oxide transport plays an important role on I/sub G/ when the gate voltage is below the drain voltage (V/sub GS/
