Abstract:The low-frequency noise of rapid thermally annealed (RTA) n-channel MOSFETS has been studied and compared with furnace annealed devices. The RTA devices exhibited higher noise ( u p to an order of magnitude in €"l. The increase in interface ( l / f ) noise was thought to be related to the fast cooling rates, associated with RTA. Further, a significant contribution of G-R noise, due to bulk defects, was found for short RTA cycles. Measurements on RI A samples have also shown a deterioration of device performanc… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
