One particular use of amorphous silicon oxide SiO2, a material crucial for silicon device technology and design, is as a flash memory tunnel dielectric. The breakdown field of SiO2 exceeds 107 V cm−1. Strong electric fields in SiO2 give rise to phenomena that do not occur in crystalline semiconductors. In relatively low electric fields (104 — 106 V cm−1) the electron distribution function is determined by the scattering of electrons by longitudinal optical phonons. In high fields (in excess of 106 V cm−1) the distribution function is determined by electron-acoustic phonon scattering.
