Which mechanism causes charge trapping within a capacitor's dielectric?

💡 Explanation

Ion migration causes charge trapping because the electric field forces mobile ions to accumulate near the dielectric interface, forming space charge; therefore trapping occurs due to mobile impurity migration, rather than through quantum tunneling or electron scattering which have different causes.
