Abstract

Plasma-charging damage is known to be high-field injection phenomenon during plasma processing. The impact of this damage on low frequency MOSFET noise is investigated. The consensus is that plasma-charging damage increases the low frequency noise of the MOSFET. However, a strong dependence of the MOSFET low frequency noise is observed on the polarity of the plasma-charging damage. When the damage is of the gate-injection type, the MOSFET low frequency noise is insensitive to damage, whereas when the polarity is of substrate-injection type, the MOSFET low frequency noise is very sensitive to damage.
