Random telegraph noise from resonant tunnelling at low temperatures.

The Random Telegraph Noise (RTN) in an advanced Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor (MOSFET) is considered to be triggered by just one electron or one hole, and its importance is recognised upon the aggressive scaling. However, the detailed nature of the charge trap remains to be investigated due to the difficulty to find out the exact device, which shows the RTN feature over statistical variations. Here, we show the RTN can be observed from virtually all devices at low temperatures, and provide a methodology to enable a systematic way to identify the bias conditions to observe the RTN.
