Notes

  1. 1.

    Most likely trap-to-band tunneling since band-to-band tunneling does not have this large a contribution at this bias. See Sects. 5.1.4 and 5.2.2 for further discussion on the effects of tunneling dark currents.

  2. 2.

    For a debiasing diode, tunneling dark currents will decrease over time as charges are collected.
