Abstract:
A correlated random telegraph signal is observed from the interaction of two individual defects in a carbon nanotube transistor. It is shown that the amplitude fluctuation of one defect significantly depends on the state of the other defect. Moreover, statistics of the correlated switchings is shown to deviate from the ideal Poisson process. Physics of this random telegraph signal correlation is attributed to the fact that the two defects are located closer than the sum of their Fermi-Thomas screening lengths. This work brings new implications to the source of low frequency noise in nanodevices. Moreover, statistic studies provide a new avenue to study correlated effects due to particle interactions.

Biasing of P-N Junction
In equilibrium, no external voltage is applied across the p-n junction. The depletion region is formed at the junction interface due to the diffusion of carriers, which leaves behind charged dopants, acceptors on the p-side, and donors on the n-side. These immobile charges create an electric field that prevents further diffusion of carriers. The related energy band...
