Abstract:
The transition from sustained to damped current oscillations or to stationary behavior is described using a model based on morphological aspects. A roughening of the oxide and of the underlying Si surface is predicted, in accordance with measurements. The role of cracks and nanopores in silicon oxide is discussed with regard to roughness increase and macropore formation.
