Abstract
Low frequency (LF) noise in MOSFETs originates mainly from traps at the Si/SiO2 interface. As hot carrier (HC) stressing is known to increase the interface trap density, the LF noise is also expected to increase. In this paper we quantify the noise increase resulting from hot carrier degradation. Furthermore we investigate two methods that could reduce LF noise, bias switching and deuterium passivation. The impact of these two measures on noise after hot carrier stressing are quantified for the first time.
