This paper describes a method of reducing substrate noise and random variability utilizing a self-adjusted forward body bias (SA-FBB) circuit. To achieve this, we designed a test chip (130 nm CMOS 3-well) that contained an on-chip oscilloscope for detecting dynamic noise from various frequency noise sources, and another test chip (90 nm CMOS 2-well) that contained 10-M transistors for measuring random variability tendencies. Under SA-FBB conditions, it reduced noise by 35.3-69.8% and reduced random variability σ (Ids) by 23.2-57.9%.
