Cryogenic Characterization of Low-Frequency Noise in 40-nm CMOS by Gerd Kiene, Sadik Ilik, Luigi Mastrodomenico, Masoud Babaie, Fabio Sebastiano

“…These deviations include changes with respect to RT in magnitude and bias dependence that are conditional on transistor type and geometry, and even an additional systematic Lorentzian feature that is common among individual devices. Furthermore, we find the scaling of the average LFN with the area and its variability to be similar between RT and 4.2K, with the cryogenic scaling reported systematically for the first time. …”
