  • Abstract
    The temperature dependence of the MOSFET parameters as well as the freeze-out and carrier multiplication effects on the DC characteristics of submicrometer CMOS inverters, operated over the whole ambient temperature range of 4.2-300 K, are discussed. The observed degradation of the inverter performance below 50 K is attributed to freeze-out and carrier multiplication effects
