Abstract

The effects on the overall device noise of a small number of defects in device sections with a strong transfer impedance coupling to the device terminals is discussed using advanced bulk and silicon-on-insulator n channel MOSFETs and silicon nanowires as examples. From the measured noise and current-voltage data, the precise physical location of the noise centers is determined. Potential noise reduction methods are discussed.
