The most widely used nanowire channel architecture for creating state-of-the-art highperformance transistors is the nanowire wrap-gate transistor, which offers low power consumption, high carrier mobility, large electrostatic control, and high-speed switching. The frequency-dependent capacitance and conductance measurements of triangular-shaped GaN nanowire wrap-gate transistors are measured in the frequency range of 1 kHz–1 MHz at room temperature to investigate carrier trapping effects in the core and at the surface. The performance of such a low-dimensional device is greatly influenced by its surface traps. With increasing applied frequency, the calculated trap density promptly decreases, from 1.01 × 1013 cm−2 eV−1 at 1 kHz to 8.56 × 1012 cm−2eV−1 at 1 MHz, respectively. The 1/f -noise features show that the noise spectral density rises with applied gate bias and shows 1/f -noise behavior in the accumulation regime. The fabricated device is controlled by 1/f -noise at lower frequencies and 1/f 2-noise at frequencies greater than ~ 0.2 kHz in the surface depletion regime. Further generation–recombination (G-R) is responsible for the 1/f 2-noise characteristics. This process is primarily brought on by electron trapping and detrapping via deep traps situated on the nanowire’s surface depletion regime. When the device works in the deep-subthreshold regime, the cut-off frequency for the 1/f 2-noise characteristics further drops to a lower frequency of 30 Hz–104 Hz.
