Abstract
Space charge-limited currents in Ti–TiO2 thin-film structures have been studied. Using the experimental physical parameters of the TiO2 dielectric, models of the formation of the space charge-limited injection currents have been constructed. The dependences of the injection current on the applied voltage, dielectric layer thickness, and parameters of electron traps have been explored. It is shown that the space charge-limited injection currents in the investigated structures depend significantly on both the depth and concentration of traps. The results obtained are compared with the dependences obtained previously for the BeO, Al2O3, and AlN structures.
期刊介绍:
Inorganic Materials: Applied Research contains translations of research articles devoted to applied aspects of inorganic materials. Best articles are selected from four Russian periodicals: Materialovedenie, Perspektivnye Materialy, Fizika i Khimiya Obrabotki Materialov, and Voprosy Materialovedeniya and translated into English. The journal reports recent achievements in materials science: physical and chemical bases of materials science; effects of synergism in composite materials; computer simulations; creation of new materials (including carbon-based materials and ceramics, semiconductors, superconductors, composite materials, polymers, materials for nuclear engineering, materials for aircraft and space engineering, materials for quantum electronics, materials for electronics and optoelectronics, materials for nuclear and thermonuclear power engineering, radiation-hardened materials, materials for use in medicine, etc.); analytical techniques; structure–property relationships; nanostructures and nanotechnologies; advanced technologies; use of hydrogen in structural materials; and economic and environmental issues. The journal also considers engineering issues of materials processing with plasma, high-gradient crystallization, laser technology, and ultrasonic technology. Currently the journal does not accept direct submissions, but submissions to one of the source journals is possible.
