摘要: This paper presents an accurate analytical model of the random telegraph signal (RTS) noise time-constant ratio ($\bar{\tau}_{\rm c}/\bar{\tau}_{\rm e}$) for RTS noise in nano-MOSFETs, in which the Coulomb-blockade effect on trapping and detrapping processes was taken into account. Based on this new model, the depth of the trap responsible for RTS noise in a sample n-type nano-MOSFET is extracted. The results show that large errors will be introduced to the calculated trap depth when the Coulomb-blockade effect is neglected.
