Two-sheet Charge Model Equivalent Circuit
Two-sheet Charge Model 1. Emission Mechanisms Field emission (pure tunneling) Thermal emission Trap-to-band impact ionization 2. Charge Capture The probability that an electron crossing a sheet of charge is captured depends on: Electric field at the sheet Occupancy of the sheet
