Low-frequency noise properties of 100 nm-thick Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films of stearic acid in a metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) structure have been studied as a function of frequency and leakage current. The excess noise is found to be consistently 1/f -like within a range of frequencies between 1 Hz to 1 kHz when leakage current is varied from 10 −8 A to 10 −4 A. The sources of noises are identified; the trap density is estimated to be 3.6 × 10 18 m −2 eV −1 .
