Abstract
This survey deals with 1/f noise in homogeneous semiconductor samples. A distinction is made between mobility noise and number noise. It is shown that there always is mobility noise with an alpha value with a m agnitude in the order of 10(-4). Damaging the crystal has a strong inf luence on alpha, alpha may increase by orders of magnitude. Some theor etical models are briefly discussed; none of them can explain all expe rimental results. The alpha values of several semiconductors are given . These values can be used in calculations of 1/f noise in devices.
