Abstract :
We propose an analytical model for the high-frequency noise of Schottky-barrier diodes (SBD). The high-frequency spectrum is shown to be governed by collective motions of carriers in the neutral region of the SBD caused by the self-consistent electric field. The model is validated by comparison with Monte Carlo simulations of GaAs SBDs operating from barrier-limited to flatband conditions.
