Some Considerations on Tunneling Losses in Field-Effect Devices for Low-Voltage Microcontrollers

The loss power density associated with the tunneling current in a typical MOS cell with a floating gate is evaluated for high electric-field strengths in the oxide layer. Furthermore, problems related to oxide thickness are discussed.
