Investigation of Random Telegraph Signal with PD SOI MOSFETs

摘要

A novel method, called random telegraphy signal (RTS), was constructed to characterize the gate oxide quality and reliability of metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect-transistors (MOSFETs). With the aggressive scaling of device size, drain current RTS (I_d-RTS) become a critical role in carrier transport of MOSFETs. Besides, RTS in gate leakage current (I_g-RTS) was denoted as the other new method to understand property of gate oxide. Recently, the study of RTS has also been made in MOSFETs with metal gate and high dielectric constant (metal gate/high-k). However, the RTS in partial depleted silicon-on-insulator MOSFETs (PD SOI MOSFETs) has not comprehensively been studied yet. This paper investigates RTS characteristics in PD SOI MOSFETs.
