摘要: In this work, Al/Al2O3 nanocomposite thin film is deposited on Si substrate by radio frequency sputtering to form a metal-insulator-semiconductor structure. It found that the current conduction at low fields greatly enhanced with temperature. The increase can be attributed decrease in tunneling resistance and/or formation of some paths due release measurement-induced charges trapped as result evolves trend toward three-dimensional transport temperature increases.
