Derivation of the Current-Voltage Characteristics in Filamentary Conductors as a Function of the Distribution of Filament Cross-Sectional Areas
The filamentary model, used to describe conduction through electroformed metal-insulator metal structure, is considered where the filament population is assumed to have normally distributed filament cross-sectional areas. This approach differs from previous work on the filamentary model in that the filament population is usually taken to have filament resistances randomly distributed. Current voltage characteristics are derived and are found to be typical of those obtained experimentally.
