Abstract

The present invention provides, in one embodiment, a method of reducing 1/f noise in a metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) device (100). The method comprises forming an oxide layer (110) on a silicon substrate (105) and depositing a polysilicon layer (115) on the oxide layer (110). The method further includes implanting a fluorine dopant (130) into the polysilicon layer (115) at an implant dose of at least about 4×1014 atoms/cm2. The polysilicon layer (115) is thermally annealed such that a portion of the fluorine dopant (130) is diffused into the oxide layer (110) to thereby reduce a 1/f noise of the MOS device (100). Other embodiments of the provide a MOS device (300) manufactured by the above-described method and a method of manufacturing an integrated circuit (500) that includes the above-described method.
