Abstract
In this paper, we have investigated the flicker noise (1/
$f$
) in 45-nm RFSOI NFETs for quantum computing applications. 1/
$f$
noise characterization and analysis were performed in linear region at cryogenic temperatures down to 10K. A Lorentzian-like noise is also observed depending on bias conditions, possibly due to the floating body of PDSOI. The extracted frequency exponent
$(\gamma)$
shows an inverted U-shape behavior with temperature mainly attributed to non-uniform energy distribution of traps in the gate dielectric. The dominant source of 1/
$f$
noise is carrier number fluctuation. Thermal-activation behavior of 1/
$f$
noise is studied, which shows the traps responsible for noise are not thermally activated. Volume trap densities are also extracted from 300K down to 10K. The volume trap density increases with a decrease in temperature, but no significant increase in normalized noise is observed at cryogenic temperatures in the measured NFETs. The non-uniform distribution along with the thermal inactive behavior of traps over the studied temperature range is expected to be a plausible reason for the temperature-independent behavior of normalized noise.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Journal of the Electron Devices Society (J-EDS) is an open-access, fully electronic scientific journal publishing papers ranging from fundamental to applied research that are scientifically rigorous and relevant to electron devices. The J-EDS publishes original and significant contributions relating to the theory, modelling, design, performance, and reliability of electron and ion integrated circuit devices and interconnects, involving insulators, metals, organic materials, micro-plasmas, semiconductors, quantum-effect structures, vacuum devices, and emerging materials with applications in bioelectronics, biomedical electronics, computation, communications, displays, microelectromechanics, imaging, micro-actuators, nanodevices, optoelectronics, photovoltaics, power IC''s, and micro-sensors. Tutorial and review papers on these subjects are, also, published. And, occasionally special issues with a collection of papers on particular areas in more depth and breadth are, also, published. J-EDS publishes all papers that are judged to be technically valid and original.
