Abstract

The noise spectra of hydrogenated amorphous silicon pin diodes are measured in the dark and under illumination at reverse and forward bias. The noise coefficients of 1/f noise at different operating points are determined. The superposition of the different noise mechanisms is investigated. A new empirical model and a method to calculate the noise in pin diodes is suggested. Transport and noise mechanisms are discussed.
