Abstract
With decreasing device dimensions of MOSFETs, the nature of the low-frequency noise spectrum is a Lorentzian. This type of spectrum is due to Random Telegraph Signals (RTS), whose origin can be attributed to the random trapping and de-trapping of mobile charge carriers in the channel in traps located at the Si- SiO2 interface or in the oxide. The low-frequency noise
decreases, if the transistors are switched "off" periodically (switched biased conditions). In this work, we have studied both p-MOS and n-MOS devices. The small devices (W/L=10:0.3) have a few trapping states, which is proven by the Lorentzian nature of the power spectrum. The RTS were measured under both; constant biased and switched biased conditions. A clear change in the RTS parameters;the mean capture time (?c) and the mean emission time (?e), under switched biased conditions, has been observed, as compared to the values in the constant bias case.
