  • Abstract
    The photon emission phenomenon has been studied in deep submicron MOSFETs (down to 0.1 μm) in a wide drain and substrate voltage range. The authors show that the number of emitted photon is still large for low voltage operation. Moreover, using the influence of a substrate bias, it is shown that the photon emission phenomenon is unambiguously associated with the substrate current and cannot be correlated to the gate current
