Mi. Makoviychuk et al., FLICKER NOISE IN ION-IMPLANTED SILICON STRUCTURES, Nuclear instruments & methods in physics research. Section B, Beam interactions with materials and atoms, 127, 1997, pp. 414-417
The low-frequency noise spectra of ion-implanted silicon structures wi
th various geometries are measured. The spectra exhibit thermal noise
and f(-y) (flicker) noise exclusively. The flicker noise exhibits a st
rong dependence on the technology parameters (implantation energy and
dose, post-implantation anneal temperature). A discussion of the resul
ts is given in terms of a volume effect. Noise measurements on implant
ed layers, produced under carefully controlled conditions, show promis
e as a tool to investigate flicker noise.
