The methodology is a two step process. The first part defines the relationship between electrical device parameters and model device parameters by means of training a neural network. The second stage uses the neural network to create worst-case model parameter sets. In order to select an appropriate set of worst-case electrical parameters, a multivariate statistical analysis is performed, such that correlations between device parameters are taken into account. The neural network approach also enables a Monte-Carlo model to be generated. The advantages of the proposed methodology are its speed improvement and accuracy.","PeriodicalId":350452,"journal":{"name":"ESSDERC '03. 33rd Conference on European Solid-State Device Research, 2003.","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123283236","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The low-frequency noise is observed to decrease when the devices are periodically switched 'off'. The technique of determining the statistical lifetimes and amplitudes of the RTS by fitting the signal level histogram of the time-domain record to two-Gaussian histograms has been reported in the literature. This procedure is then used for analysing the 'noisy' RTS along with the device background noise, which turned out to be 1/f noise. The 1/f noise of the device can then be separated from the RTS using this procedure. In this work, RTS observed in MOSFETs, under both constant and switched biased conditions, have been investigated in the time domain, Further, the 1/f noise in both the constant and the switched biased conditions is investigated.","PeriodicalId":350452,"journal":{"name":"ESSDERC '03. 33rd Conference on European Solid-State Device Research, 2003.","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-09-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131077150","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
