摘要
A 1/f noise model for diodes operating in the thermionic-emission mode under forward-bias conditions has been developed. The model is based on mobility and diffusivity fluctuations occurring in the space-charge region and accounts for the current-limiting role of the metal-semiconductor interface. The bias dependence of the 1/f noise spectral density calculated from this model is in excellent agreement with the results of the authors' experiments but is at variance with the predictions of a model developed by T. G. M. Kleinpenning (1979). From the experimental data, a value of 4.2 × 10-9 for the Hooge parameter is derived. This value is in good agreement with theoretical calculation for electrons in silicon.
