Abstract

A number of workers have suggested that electroformed MIM structures contain a high field region in the insulating layer, which is set up during the forming process. This is supported by experimental potential distribution measurements on MIMIM structures which reveal a highly non-linear potential distribution. In a recent criticism of such measurements, it has been argued that a MIMIM structure acts as two MIM structures in series, and that the potential distribution can be predicted by a model involving a simple load line analysis. In the present paper it is shown that certain consequences of such a model are not confirmed experimentally, and certain experimental results are inconsistent with the predictions of such a model. In particular the load line analysis does not fit the experimental evidence of potential distributions in triode structures, except in cases where the two sections are separately formed.
