Fine structures in the tunneling characteristics of n-type Si-oxide-metal junctions have been observed at biases approximately equal to the energy of peaks in the Si phonon distribution. We show that these structures cannot arise from phosphorus local-mode phonons. Instead, they reflect Si phonon peaks and can be attributed to emission of Si phonons by tunneling electrons.
