PG - 3504-9 LID - 10.1021/nl5010724 [doi] AB - Trapping-detrapping processes in nanostructures are generally considered to be destabilizing factors. However, we discovered a positive role for a single trap in the registration and transformation of useful signal. We use switching kinetics of current fluctuations generated by a single trap in the dielectric of liquid-gated nanowire field effect transistors (FETs) as a basic principle for a novel highly sensitive approach to monitor the gate surface potential. An increase in Si nanowire FET sensitivity of 400% was demonstrated. FAU - Li, Jing AU - Li J AD - Peter Grunberg Institute(PGI-8), Forschungszentrum Julich , Julich 52425, Germany.
