Abstract
In this work we present a 3D dynamic simulation analysis for the reliability evaluation of a decananometer MOSFET device. We have focused our attention on the Random Telegraph Noise (RTN) phenomenon, showing that the statistical variability induced by the discrete nature of matter and charge has a fundamental impact on the reliability performance of nanoscale devices, in both transient and steady-state operating regimes.
