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.
