AC floating body effects in partially depleted floating body SOI nMOS operated at elevated temperature: an analog circuit prospective

AC floating body effects in PD SOI nMOSFETs operated at high temperature are investigated. Both source/body and drain/body junction diode characteristics are greatly influenced by temperature, significantly impacting the ac kink effect as well its low-frequency (LF) noise characteristics. This is especially true for the pre-dc kink operation at high temperature. The increase of junction thermal generation current becomes an important body charging source and induces the LF Lorentzian-like excess noise.
