Good Morning. I have run BE-SONOS using silvaco. but the charge trap(nitride) is not doing the trapping job.

This is example of my coding.

Code:
# (c) Silvaco Inc., 2013
# Example, of dynamic sonos code,  charging by tunnelling
# followed by erasing by tunnelling.
go atlas

quit

I have used VARIOT tunneling in order to enhance performance.

Can anyone help me fix this problem?
