Abstract
This paper presents a noise model using the channel length modulation (CLM) effect to calculate the total equivalent noise current, referred to the gate (input) of the MOSFET. It is shown here that for short channel MOSFETs the total input noise depends on the electron warming in the channel, the voltage fluctuations due to the gate polysilicon resistance, and the induced thermal noise at the gate. Taking velocity saturation effect and carrier heating effect in the gradual channel region, complete thermal noise modelling of short-channel MOSFETs including the induced gate noise and its correlation coefficients is presented.
