Combined measurements of random telegraph noise of drain current and drain current -gate voltage characteristic are employed for determination of fieldeffect charge carrier mobility in surface channel of nanowire inversion mode and accumulation mode MOSFETs with taking into account parasitic sourcedrain resistance. IntroductionDetermination of charge carrier mobility in cannel of nanowire (NW) multigate (MuG) MOSFETs both inversión mode (IM) and accumulation mode (AM) operation is extremely complex task demanding knowledge of the geomentic sizes and gate capacitance of the devices. The gate capacitance of the NW MOSFETs does not yield to measurement because of their very small magnitude. Therefore a search of new methods and approaches are necessary to solve this task. In this paper we propose the combined measurements of the random telegraph noices (RTN) amplitude and drain current in dependence on applied gate voltage (RTNA(V g ), I d (V g )) on the same nanowire MOSFET for extraction of charge carrier mobility. The method is also applied to new type of multigate MOSFET, called the junctionless (JL) transistor, which has recently been proposed [1]. The device contains highly doped silicon wire with the pi-gate (Fig.1). The use of such a device avoids junction formation problem and can be used to make very short-channel devices [2]. Samples and MeasurementMultigate silicon NW n-type MOSFETs with pi-gate architecture were fabricated on UNIBOND ® silicon-oninsulator wafers (see Figures 1(a) and 1 (b)). The width and thickness of the devices is near 10 nm and the gate OHQJWK LV ȝP 7KH JDWH R[LGH DQG EXULHG R[LGH %2; thickness are 7 nm and 340 nm correspondingly. The JL MOSFET has uniform n-type doping concentration of 1x10 19 cm -3 in the source, drain and channel regions (Figure 1 (c)). "Standard" IM pi-gate MOSFET have the same dimensions as the JL devices but have a p-type channel doping concentration of 2x10 18 cm -3 and an ntype doping concentration of 1x10 20 cm -3 in the source and drain regions (Figure 1 (d)). The JL MOSFETs have a P + -polysilicon gate electrode and the IM devices have an N + -polysilicon gate.The I d (V g ) characteristics and RTN in drain current were measured by Agilent B1500A Semiconductor Parameter Analyzers. The RTNs were measured in sampling mode of the equipment operation. The RTNs were measured at gate voltage above the threshold voltage both of the IM and JL devices, which was determined by second derivative of the I d (V g ) characteristic. Fig.2 shows I d (V g ) characteristics, normalized transconductance (g m =dI d /dV g ) and transconductance deriviation (dg m /dV g =d 2 I d /dV g 2 ) vs. gate voltage for NW IM and JL MOSFETs measured at linear mode (V d = 50 mV). The transconductance deriviation allows us to Fig.1: Schematic view of architecture of the MOSFETs (a) and HRTEM photograph of the A-A section of the device (b).
