Abstract
The flicker noise (l/fγ) of short-channel MOSFETs measured under different drain bias conditions at 77K and 300K will be presented in this paper, i.e., the drain bias and temperature dependences of the exponent γ on l/fγ noise in DDD n-MOSFETs were studied in the ohmic region. The results showed that γ in the drain-to-source voltage noise spectrum Svd were increased significant with Vds for L = 1.2 µm at 77K and 300K. In other channel lengths, such as L= 1.6, 2.0, and 5.0µm, constant values of γ in the noise spectrum Svd were observed. The threshold voltage Vth, decreased notably with Vds for L= 1.2 µm samples at 77K and 300K. These phenomena imply that the threshold voltage shift has predominant effect on the exponent γ of the Svd flicker noise as the drain voltage and temperature varies.
