Size effects on generation recombination noise

Statistical Mechanics 2009-11-07 v1

Abstract

We carry out an analytical theory of generation-recombination noise for a two level resistor model which goes beyond those presently available by including the effects of both space charge fluctuations and diffusion current. Finite size effects are found responsible for the saturation of the low frequency current spectral density at high enough applied voltages. The saturation behaviour is controlled essentially by the correlations coming from the long range Coulomb interaction. It is suggested that the saturation of the current fluctuations for high voltage bias constitutes a general feature of generation-recombination noise.
