Abstract
Total-ionizing-dose (TID) effects and low-frequency noise are evaluated in 30-nm gate-length bulk and silicon-on-insulator (SOI) FinFETs for devices with fin widths of 10–40 nm. Minimal threshold voltage shifts are observed at 2 Mrad(SiO2), but large increases in low-frequency noise are found, and significant changes in defect-energy distributions are inferred. Radiation-induced leakage current is enhanced for narrow- and short-channel bulk FinFETs. Short-channel SOI FinFETs show enhanced degradation compared with longer-channel devices. Narrow- and short-channel SOI devices exhibit high radiation tolerance. Significant random telegraph noise (RTN) is observed in smaller devices due to prominent individual defects.
