Abstract
Expressions are derived that enable calculation of the effects of space charge on the current density of electrons tunneling from a metal into the conduction band of an insulating film. The effect of electron traps in the insulating material is considered. It is shown that if the insulating film contains a high trap density, space charge can severely limit the tunnel current density that can be achieved, even for very thin films.
