We report a study of influence of charging and discharging in Si nanocrystals (nc-Si), which are embedded throughout the gate oxide in metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) structures, on the current voltage and capacitance-voltage characteristics of the MOS structures. Very large current and capacitance...
