Summary :

As the gate area decreases to the order of a square micron, individual trapping events can be detected as fluctuations between discrete levels of the drain current, known as random telegraph signal (RTS) noise. Many circuit application areas such as CMOS Image sensor and flash memory are already suffering from RTS noise. Especially, in case of flash memory, FN stress causes threshold voltage shift problems due to generation of additional oxide traps, which degrades circuit performance. In this paper, we investigated how FN stress effects on RTS noise behavior in MOSFET and monitored it in both the time domain and frequency domain.
