In this article, the causes of drain current local variability are analyzed by decomposing into current variability components, including V TH and G m components, and it is found that effects of current onset variability caused by channel potential fluctuations largely contribute to the current variability.
Abstract
Causes of drain current local variability are analyzed by decomposing into current variability components. Besides V TH and G m components, it is newly found that effects of “current onset” variability caused by channel potential fluctuations largely contribute to the current variability and that G m component is relatively small in the saturation region. It is shown that both V TH and current onset components decreases with reducing channel dopants, indicating that intrinsic channel is very effective to reduce current variability.

Statistical Variability in Fully Depleted SOI MOSFETs Due to Random Dopant Fluctuations in the Source and Drain Extensions

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that the standard deviation of the threshold voltage cannot be adequately used as a sole metric of device variability in such transistors, due to a sharp departure from normality of the voltage distribution, and an enhanced influence of the source/drain-dopant fluctuations on the on-current and short-channel effects of the fully depleted thin-body silicon-on-insulator transistors.

Experimental Demonstration of Ultrashort-Channel (3 nm) Junctionless FETs Utilizing Atomically Sharp V-Grooves on SOI

TL;DR: In this article, anisotropic wet etching was used to create atomically sharp V-shaped grooves for junctionless FETs, where the channel length, defined as the width of the V-groove bottom, was as short as 3 nm and the channel thickness was between 1 and 8 nm.

Suppression of DIBL and current-onset voltage variability in intrinsic channel fully depleted SOI MOSFETs

TL;DR: In this article, the intrinsic channel SOI MOSFETs were fabricated and their variability were compared with conventional bulk MOSFs, and it was found that, besides V TH variability, both DIBL variabitlity and current-onset voltage variability are well suppressed in the intrinsic channels thanks to non-intentionally doped channel.
