Abstract :
The effect of Device Matrix Array structure on MOSFET gm-variability measurement is studied. One of the two transfer gates, which are connected to an MOSFET source terminal for both Kelvin measurement and addressable access, is removed. This modification enables us to measure and to reduce the effect of the metal wiring resistance on Kelvin measurement, and thus to estimate the intrinsic MOSFET gm-variability.
