Random telegraph signal amplitude in submicron n-channel metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors
نویسندگان
چکیده
Random telegraph signal ~RTS! amplitude has been studied in a submicron n-channel metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor as a function of gate voltage. To do so, we have employed a complete simulator of metal oxide semiconductor devices where the effect of a single acceptor trap placed in the silicon oxide was taken into account. The dominant role played by the screening of the charged trap due to free channel carriers has been demonstrated. Furthermore, the effect of the mobility and carrier number fluctuations on the normalized drain current fluctuations were separated, revealing the importance of mobility variations on the RTS amplitude. © 1997 American Institute of Physics. @S0003-6951~97!02916-1#

Influence of mobility fluctuations on random telegraph signal amplitude in n-channel metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistors
The amplitude of random telegraph signals ~RTS! in an n-channel metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistor has been investigated. Current fluctuations originating when a single-channel electron is trapped or detrapped in the silicon dioxide have been evaluated. A simulation has been performed where the inversion-layer quantization, the dependence of the electron mobility on the transvers...

We have studied the magnitude and length scale of potential fluctuations in the channel of metal– oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistors due to the random positions of ionized impurities in the depletion layer. These fluctuations effect the threshold voltage of deep submicron devices, impede their integration, and reduce yield and reliability. Our simple, analytic results complement numer...
