Abstract
        A 3D numerical noise model has been developed for computation of different noises in metal-insulator-semiconductor field 
effect transistor (MISFET) in the nano meter region. Two port small signal noise equivalent model has been developed to 
study the overall noise performance. Shot noise, thermal noise and diffusion noise components have also been calculated 
for the two port MISFET photodetector. Signal-to-noise ratios (SNR), BER and Noise Equivalent Power (NEP) have also 
been calculated. The operating frequency can be adjusted suitably to make the noise behavior of the MISFET independent 
of the value of the incident optical power.
