What is the relationship between the threshold voltage and the device's noise performance, particularly in terms of flicker noise and thermal noise?

The threshold voltage (Vth) of a MOS device plays a crucial role for its operation. At the same time, noise is an intrinsic factor. So how noise (flicker or thermal) change with the change in...

some people write about non drying of sample as the reason . but can conductivity changes in nanofibers be the reason too?

yes, they were analysed using SEM seem many of them get flattened

Rajagopalan Pandey

answering after a long time. I guess it has to do with the lower viscosity of the precursor solution.
