The gate stack consists of SiO2/HfO2/TaN/TiN layers. Noise in all structures complies with the McWorther carrier number fluctuation model. The magnitude of the noise power spectral density of the drain current was found to increase with decreasing Si interfacial layer thickness. The extracted trap densities are between 1018 and 1019 cm−1 eV−1.

The electron emitter is a mesoscopic capacitor, a top gated quantum dot connected to a conductor via a tunable tunnel barrier. We observe a new fundamental noise for electrons which is associated with the quantum fluctuations of the electron emission time from one emission cycle to the other. This random jitter between the emission trigger and the single particle emission is related to the random nature of single particle tunneling and is intrinsic to any single particle emitter. When the emitter emits a single particle at each cycle with unit probability, the noise reduces to this fundamental jitter limit which demonstrates single particle emission.","PeriodicalId":137085,"journal":{"name":"2011 21st International Conference on Noise and Fluctuations","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-06-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125936646","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Analysis of I–V characteristics performed as a function of temperature allows the identification of dominant conduction mechanisms and corresponding noise sources. Ta2O5 films of the thickness about 28 nm and Nb2O5 thin films of the thickness about 150 nm were investigated. Tunneling current mechanism is dominant for the temperatures below 200 K. In this temperature range current noise spectral density is 1/f type. Poole-Frenkel and Schottky current transport mechanism is dominant for temperatures higher than 350 K. 1/f noise is pronounced in the frequency range bellow 20 Hz, while in the range 20 to 100 Hz GR noise is dominant for low current values. For the insulating layer thickness below 50 nm current noise spectral density is given by the superposition of at least two GR noise components with different time constants.
