  • Abstract
    Minority carrier mobility has been extracted from measurements on NMOS transistors with effective channel lengths down to 0.35 ¿m within the temperature range 208-403 K. The results indicate a significant mobility reduction for short channel devices at temperatures below 300 K. Furthermore, a slight increase of the threshold voltage was observed in the short channel region. Both effects can be explained by an inhomogeneous lateral doping profile within the channel, which was confirmed with 2-dimensional device simulation.
