Abstract
Random telegraph signal (RTS) and 1/f noise is investigated in Ge nanowire field effect transistors with NiGe Ohmic contacts and a Si/SiO2 back gate. Dominant, trap-related, two-level or multilevel RTS noise with relative amplitude in the 10–30% range is usually observed at drain currents below ID=1nA. For higher currents, 1/f noise becomes dominant. With the current increase, the normalized power spectral density (SI/ID2) is first independent on ID and then drops as ID−1. Considering dominant mobility fluctuations due to scattering on surface defects a Hooge parameter of 4×10−3 has been estimated.
