  • Abstract
    Low frequency noise on six different types of CMOS PNP PIN phototransistors was investigated and is presented in this paper. The output noise spectral density is evaluated by a noise model for the investigated phototransistors. The current gain β and the most dominant shot noise terms including their values of each phototransistor are extracted. The presented phototransistors show a good noise performance.
