The results obtained in this reference assume free passage of carriers through the insulator layer with the injection velocity equal to the thermal velocity. This contradicts to the established theories of carrier transport in MIS structures [20,21]. Due to the high potential barriers at the metal-insulator and semiconductor-insulator interfaces, the thermionic injection cannot be actually efficient, while the dominating transport mechanism is due to tunneling.
