Fig. 4: Noise analysis and benchmark of 11-bit 2D FGMs.

a Mapping diagram of calculated noise current as a function of frequency and IDS. b Plot of low-frequency noise (LFN), thermal noise, and shot noise versus IDS at a channel area (The product of channel width and length, WL) of 60 μm2 and a frequency of 10 Hz. The yellow shaded area represents the measurement accuracy limit of the instrument. B is the bandwidth and Nst is the areal surface trap density. c The maximum state number versus IDS for 10 11-bit devices, as well as the calculated theoretical maximum state number of the devices under the Nst values of 4 × 1012 cm–2 eV–1 and 4 × 1010 cm–2 eV–1. d Benchmark for multi-bit storage in various existing nonvolatile memories: FeM (ferroelectric memory)55,56,57,58,59, PCM (phase change memory)60,61,62,63, MRAM (magnetic random access memory)64,65, RRAM (resistive random access memory)23,24,66, silicon eFLASH67,68,69,70, and 2D FGMs34.
