Abstract: Experimentally measured capacitance-voltage and current-voltage characteristics of the metal-insulator-semiconductor structures with nanocrystals embedded in the insulator often exhibit formations which result from charging/discharging processes of the nanocrystals and are difficult to explain and predict intuitively. Time dependent simulations as presented in this paper can be helpful in their analysis. The paper presents a study of the impact of selected geometrical parameters on their characteristics with the bias voltage ramp rate as a parameter.
