Abstract
This paper describes the transport characteristics, measured at 1.1 K, of 50-nm-channel SOI MOSFETs with a 6-nm-thick silicon
layer. To verify electron localization, Fermi wavelength, periodic length of primary interface morphology, and ideal cyclotron
radius are estimated theoretically. It is shown that nonperiodic roughness may contribute to Anderson localization while the
local periodic structure of the interface morphology is associated with Coulomb blockade.
