Article Citation - WoS: 13Noise in Hydrogenated Amorphous Silicon(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2002) Johanson, Robert E.; Güneş, Mehmet; Kasap, Safa O.Published work on conductance fluctuations in hydrogenated amorphous silicon is surveyed. There are many reports of 1/f noise. some describing unusual features Such as non-Gaussian statistics. The relative insensitivity to doping and temperature is highlighted. In addition to the 1/f noise. random-telegraph-like noise is often reported. The successes and failures of generation-recombination models for 1 f noise and current filament models for the telegraph noise are summarised.Conference Object Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 101/F Noise in Hydrogenated Amorphous Silicon-Germanium Alloys(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2003) Johanson, Robert E.; Güneş, Mehmet; Kasap, Safa O.Measurements were made of conductance noise of a-Si:H and a-Si 1-xGex:H in two different geometries: one where the current flow is transverse to the surface and the other where it is longitudinal to the surface. Because of the large change in sample resistance between the two geometries, it was not possible to measure both geometries at the same temperature. For both geometries, alloyinzg with up to 40% Ge reduces the noise magnitude by several orders of magnitude over that found in a-Si:H. The decrease is incompatible with several popular noise models. Extrapolating the temperature trends for each geometry shows that it is possible that the noise observed in the transverse samples has the same origin as the higher frequency part of the double power law spectra observed in the longitudinal samples.
