Modeling local variation of low-frequency noise in MOSFETs via sum of lognormal random variables

In this paper, we investigate the geometry dependence for the local variation of low-frequency noise in MOSFETs via the sum of lognormal random variables. A compact model has been developed and applied to the measured data with excellent match, and therefore enables the coverage of low-frequency noise statistics in circuit design.
