It is found in experimment that 1/f noise is closely correlated with negative-bias instability in MOSFETs
which is one of the most important reliability problems for MOS devices.The initial noise spectrum density is proportional to the drift of transconductance of MOSFETs that are subjected to negative bias and high temperature. And
it is shown from the mechanism analysis that both the instability and the noise are induced by oxide charges and traps near Si-SiO2 interface. 1/f noise may therefore be used as an effective tool to predict and analyze negative-bias instability in MOS devices.
