Random dopants and low-frequency noise reduction in deep-submicron MOSFET technology

Creator:: Miller, Drake A.
Abstract:: The future of mixed-signal, memory, and microprocessor technologies are dependent on ever increasing analog and digital integration, higher cell densities, and demand for more processing power. As a result MOSFET device dimensions continue to shrink to meet these demands. A side effect of device scaling is increased variability at each...
