Abstract
Different models exist describing the current transport in polycrystalline Si/SiO x /crystalline Si junctions. Besides tunneling through thin oxides, transport through pinholes is discussed. We investigate the influence of annealing temperature on the structural properties of polycrystalline Si/SiO x /crystalline Si interfaces and analyze the formation and evolution of holes by high resolution transmission electron microscopy in comparison to electrical results. We prove the existence of pinholes in samples with good electrical properties in agreement with the pinhole model.
