DESCRIPTION:
fundamental sources of noise The book investigates the sources of noise in semiconductors, due to a fundamental cause of fluctuations in processes. These include electron-hole recombination, where the free electrons and holes are inherently a stochastic process, based on underlying quantum mechanics.This idea is also investigated with related effects, like interband transitions. Most standard texts on semiconductors might treat these transitions at some aggregate level, to derive steady state current, for example.
The text provides a comprehensive account of current results, addressing problems which have not previously been covered in Western literature, including the excess noise of tunnel-recombination currents and photocurrents in diodes, fluctuation phenomena in a real photoconductor with different recombination centers, and methods of noise spectroscopy of levels in a wide range of materials and devices.. This book demonstrates the role and abilities of fluctuation in semiconductor physics, and shows what kinds of physical information are involved in the noise characteristics of semiconductor materials
