The applied voltages are only moderate, but they drop over the distance of a few nanometers and lead to extreme field strengths in the MV/cm region. Such strong fields contributes signicantly to the activation energy for ionic jump processes. This leads to an exponential increase of transport speed with voltage. Conventional high-temperature ionic conduction, in contrast, only relies on thermal activation for such jumps. In this thesis, the transport of minute amounts of oxygen through a thin dielectric layer sandwiched between two thin conducting oxide electrodes was detected semi-quantitatively by measuring the conductance change of the electrodes after applyinga current through the dielectric layer. The relative conductance change $\Delta$G/G as a function of current I and duration t follows over several orders of magnitude a simple, empirical law of the form $\Delta$G/G = CI$^{A}$t$^{B}$ with fit parameters C, A and B; A,B $\epsilon$ [0,1]. This empirical law can be linked to a predicted exponential increase of the transport speed with voltage at high eld strength. The behavior in the time domain can be explained with a spectrum of relaxation processes, similar to the relaxation of dielectrics. The influence of temperature on the transport is strong, but still much lower than expected. This contradicts a commonly used law for high-field ionic transport. The different oxide layers are epitaxial with thicknesses between 5 and 70 nm. First large-scale test samples were fabricated using shadow masks. The general behavior of such devices was studied extensively. In an attempt to achieve quantitative results with defect-free, miniaturized devices, a lithographic manufacturing process that uses repeated steps of epitaxial deposition and structuring of the layers was developed. It employs newly developed and optimized wet chemical etching processes for the conducting electrodes. First high-quality devices could be manufactured with this process and confirmed that such devices suffer less from parasitic effects. The lithographically structured samples were made from different materials. The results from the first test samples and the lithographically structured samples are therefore not directly comparable. They do exhibit however in principle the same behavior. Further investigation of such lithographically structured samples appears promising. 000152031 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-143$$a143 - Controlling Configuration-Based Phenomena (POF3-143)$$cPOF3-143$$fPOF III$$x0 000152031 650_7 $$0V:(DE-588b)4012494-0$$2GND$$aDissertation$$xDiss. 000152031 773__ $$y2014 000152031 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/152031/files/FZJ-2014-01851.pdf$$yOpenAccess 000152031 909CO $$ooai:juser.fz-juelich.de:152031$$pdnbdelivery$$pdriver$$pVDB$$popen_access$$popenaire 000152031 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0510$$2StatID$$aOpenAccess 000152031 9141_ $$y2014 000152031 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)171370$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b0$$kFZJ 000152031 9132_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-529H$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF3-520$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF3-500$$aDE-HGF$$bKey Technologies$$lFuture Information Technology - Fundamentals, Novel Concepts and Energy Efficiency (FIT)$$vAddenda$$x0 000152031 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-143$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF3-140$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF3-100$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF3$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$aDE-HGF$$bEnergie$$lFuture Information Technology - Fundamentals, Novel Concepts and Energy Efficiency (FIT)$$vControlling Configuration-Based Phenomena$$x0 000152031 920__ $$lyes 000152031 9201_ $$0I:(DE-Juel1)PGI-5-20110106$$kPGI-5$$lMikrostrukturforschung$$x0 000152031 9801_ $$aFullTexts 000152031 980__ $$aphd 000152031 980__ $$aVDB 000152031 980__ $$abook 000152031 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)PGI-5-20110106 000152031 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED 000152031 981__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)ER-C-1-20170209
