摘要
The electronic noise of single-walled carbon nanotube (CNT) film-Silicon Schottky junctions under forward bias is experimentally characterized. The superposition of a stable 1/f noise and a temporally unstable Lorentzian noise is observed, along with a random telegraph signal (RTS) in the time domain. The data analysis shows that the Lorentzian noise results from the RTS current fluctuations. The data agree well with theoretical descriptions of noise in Schottky junctions due to carrier trapping and detrapping at interface states. Understanding the noise properties of CNT film-Si junctions is important for the integration of CNT film electrodes into silicon-based devices. (C) 2012 American Institute of Physics.
