Abstract
Spontaneous and induced instabilities in the character of Random Telegraph Signal (RTS) noise are studied in photodetector arrays, fabricated on latti ce-mismatched InGaAs/InP heterostructures. The disappearance and reappearan ce of the RTS noise as well as abrupt changes in the RTS noise amplitude an d pulse complexity are investigated as a function of voltage:and temperatur e. The RTS noise instabilities are explained in terms of structural transfo rmation of complex multistable crystalline defects. (C) 1999 Elsevier Scien ce Ltd. All rights reserved.
