Abstract

The low-frequency noise (LFN) characteristics of a vertical pillar-type FET were investigated in order to observe the different influences of the source resistance (RS) and the drain resistance (RD). Because of its inherent vertical channel structure, the RS and RD are inevitably different. To observe the effects of the asymmetric RS and RD on LFN, a forward mode (FM) and reverse mode (RM) of voltage sweep were used. In the RM, the correlated mobility fluctuation effect was higher and the power spectral density of resistance fluctuation (SRSD) was lower than those in the FM. In addition, SRSD was correlated with the RS, but little with the RD. To suppress SRSD, it is important to minimize the RS.
