The noise spectra of the studied n-channel UTBOX devices contain flicker noise and Lorentzian components. At room temperature it was found that the flicker noise is explained by the carrier number fluctuation model for both front and back interfaces. Due to the thin silicon film thickness a strong electrostatic coupling between front and back interface was evidenced. The evolution of the low frequency noise versus the temperature allows to identify traps in the silicon film and to make a correlation between the observed traps and some technological steps.
