Abstract

The Random Telegraph Noise (RTN) in an advanced Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor (MOSFET) is consideredto be triggered by just one electron or one hole, and its importance is recognised upon the aggressive scaling. However, the detailed nature of the charge trap remains to be investigated due to the difficulty to find out the exact device, which shows the RTN feature over statistical variations. Here, we show the RTN can be observed from virtually all devices at low temperatures, and provide a methodology to enable a systematic way to identify the bias conditions to observe the RTN. We found that theRTN was observed at the verge of the Coulomb blockade in the stability diagram of a parasitic Single-Hole-Transistor (SHT), and we have successfully identified the locations of the charge traps by measuring the bias dependence of the RTN.
