Abstract :
The low-frequency open circuit noise spectral density, S(f) = <V2>/Δf, of an avalanching junction can be represented by S(f) = a2VB2/Iowhere VB, Io, and a2are the reverse voltage, current, and a factor dependent on the ionization coefficients, respectively. For single-drift p+-n or n+-p silicon diodes a^{2} \\simeq 3.3 \\times 10^{-20} A/Hz. However, for symmetric p-n junctions, e.g., a double-drift IMPATT diode, the first-order theory predicts a^{2} \\simeq 4.4 \\times 10^{-20} A/Hz. Low-frequency noise measurements were made on a double-drift IMPATT to confirm the inverse current dependence and to experimentally determine the magnitude of a2.
