76. Although metal induced gap states do not affect the transmission for long channel devices at linear response bias voltage, they are expected to contribute to tunneling currents, particularly in short channel devices. In fact, they can also affect longer channel devices by enhancing scattering processes under high source-drain bias voltage.
