We show measurement results and simulations of current–voltage characteristics of Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor capacitors after hard breakdown. The devices exhibit either point contact or diode behaviour, depending on electrode and substrate characteristics and the bias regime. The charge transport characteristics were reproduced in device simulations, including the dependence on the gate dimensions and breakdown spot size.
