Original Abstract

A large amount of experimental results show that for MOSFET's with channel area exceed-ing 10 mikrom2, 1/f noise is clearly present. On the other hand, for transistors of area less than 1 mikrom2, Random Telegraph Signals (RTS) are appearing, giving rise to lorentzian spectra. A relation is established between the level of 1/f noise and the defectiveness of the device. An important result concerns the reliability of integrated circuits: beyond a certain limit of scaling down, one can show that it is impossible to predict, with a given accuracy, the low frequency noise of an individual transistor. A critical question also arises: are the RTS's the ultimate components of the 1/f noise In this paper, we emphasize the interest of observing extensively intermediate cases MOSFET's (i.e., with a surface of a few mikrom2). In these cases, several traps are involved, leading to single or multi level temporal signals.[
