The nature of interface states generated by high field injection

Abstract The main electrical properties of interface defects induced by high field injection into the oxide are reviewed. The relevance of these data will be discussed, and the weakness or the strength of the relationship between these electrical data and the microscopic nature of the defect will be pointed out. These results are discussed aiming at determining whether the defects induced by high field injections are similar to the P b center or not.
