Based on two-dimensional MOSFET simulation, the substrate and gate currents resulting from impact ionization generated electron-hole pairs and their injection into the gate oxide are calculated. The improved injection model uses a nonMaxwellian distribution function and considers separate contributions to the gate current from both thermionic-emission and oxide-barrier tunneling. A fine structure...
