They don't necessarily flow in the same place. Breakdown is often at surfaces, not in the bulk. It's also often localized, so power density can be much larger in breakdown than in forward flow. Dissipation mechanisms can differ. Breakdown creates high energy ("hot") electrons that can drive chemical changes in materials.



I've seen that localization looking under a microscope when they go... (but with a low impedance driving supply, not a small current). Just the energy level being from higher volts gives you a good theory to go from.


I'm still wanting to study more... anyone have a favorite writing on silicon device physics compared to organic device physics wrt photoelectric effect?

I"m interested in 500 um and larger min feature size printable materials, and inkjet printable 50 um materials.
