Synopsis

Low-Frequency Noise in Advanced CMOS Devices begins with an introduction to noise, describing the fundamental noise sources and basic circuit analysis. The characterization of low-frequency noise is discussed in detail and useful practical advice is given. The various theoretical and compact low-frequency (1/f) noise models in MOS transistors are treated extensively providing an in-depth understanding of the low-frequency noise mechanisms and the potential sources of the noise in MOS transistors. Advanced CMOS technology including nanometer scaled devices, strained Si, SiGe, SOI, high-k gate dielectrics, multiple gates and metal gates are discussed from a low-frequency noise point of view. Some of the most recent publications and conference presentations are included in order to give the very latest view on the topics. The book ends with an introduction to noise in analog/RF circuits and describes how the low-frequency noise can affect these circuits.

CV for Mikael Östling: He has been with the faculty of EE of KTH, Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden since 1984 where he holds a position as professor in solid state electronics. Since 2001 he is head of the department of microelectronics and information technology. In December 2004 he was appointed Dean, School of Information and Communication Technology, KTH.

He was a senior visiting Fulbright Scholar 1993-94 with the center for integrated systems at Stanford University, and a visiting professor with the University of Florida, Gainesville. He initiated and was appointed program director by the Swedish Foundation for Strategic Research for a silicon nanoelectronics national program 2000-2007. His research interests are silicon/silicon germanium devices and process technology for very high frequency, as well as devicetechnology for wide bandgap semiconductors with special emphasis on silicon carbide and nitride based structures. He has supervised 20 PhD theses work, and been the author of 8 book chapters and about 300 scientific papers published in international journals and conferences. He is an editor of the IEEE Electron Device Letters and a fellow of the IEEE.
