Description
Summary:By the use of binomial expansion theorem the analytical treatments for the current flow due to tunneling of electron from the metal into the semiconductor are established. The obtained formulas can be useful in the analytical evaluation of the current density from the semiconductors to the metals. The method is general and easy for application. Numerical tests show that the obtained formulas provide higher accuracy and efficiency than the approximation methods in literature. The usefulness of the suggested method is confirmed by the concrete example.
