Reply to comment on `Modelling of trap-assisted electronic conduction in thin thermally nitrided oxide films' by P. Pipinys and V. Lapeika

Hei Wong comments on the argument of P. Pipinys and V. Lapeika on modeling of trap-assisted electronic conduction in thin thermally nitrided oxide films. He argues that the temperature dependencies of the current conduction in nitrided oxides can be very complicated. Phonon-assisted tunneling of electrons from deeps traps is one but not the unique and the predominating process. Instead, shallow traps should play a very important role in the current conduction in nitrided oxides.
