  • Abstract
    In submicron MOSFETs, a discrete switching in the drain current can be seen as electrons are captured and emitted from a single Si-SiO 2 interface state. In larger devices where a large number of defects are active, this results in 1/f noise in the device resistance. This paper is concerned with why the properties of those defects result in a spectrum of 1/f form and the relationship between noise measurements of interface states and the more conventional technique of CV testing
