Abstract
The effect of space charge and traps on the current density of electrons tunnelling from a metal into the conduction band of an insulating film is calculated for the case of very low free carrier mobility in the insulator. It is shown that free carrier space charge is ineffective in lowering the tunnelling current even for extremely low free carrier mobility but that a high trap density can severely limit the tunnel current density.
