We have investigated low-frequency 1/f noise in the boron nitride-graphene-boron nitride heterostructure field-effect transistors on Si/SiO2 substrates (f is a frequency). The device channel was implemented with a single layer graphene encased between two layers of hexagonal boron nitride. The transistors had the charge carrier mobility in the range from similar to 30 000 to similar to 36 000 cm(2)/Vs at room temperature. It was established that the noise spectral density normalized to the channel area in such devices can be suppressed to similar to 5 x 10(-9) mu m(2) Hz(-1), which is a factor of x5-x10 lower than that in non-encapsulated graphene devices on Si/SiO2. The physical mechanism of noise suppression was attributed to screening of the charge carriers in the channel from traps in SiO2 gate dielectric and surface defects. The obtained results are important for the electronic and optoelectronic applications of graphene. (C) 2015 AIP Publishing LLC.
