Low frequency noise in chemical vapor deposited MoS2

Abstract

Inherent low frequency noise is a ubiquitous phenomenon, which limits operation and performance of electronic devices and circuits. This limiting factor is very important for nanoscale electronic devices, such as 2D semiconductor devices. In this work, low frequency noise in high mobility single crystal MoS2 grown by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is investigated. The measured low frequency noise follows an empirical formulation of mobility fluctuations with Hooge's parameter ranging between 1.44×10-3 and 3.51×10-2. Small variation of Hooge's parameter suggests superior material uniformity and processing control of CVD grown MoS2 devices than reported single-layer MoS2 FET. The extracted Hooge's parameter is one order of magnitude lower than CVD-grown graphene. The Hooge's parameter shows an inverse relationship with the field mobility.
