Abstract

We study current-voltages and low-frequency noise characteristics of the metal--porous silicon--silicon single crystal--metal structure with 50% and 73% porosity of porous silicon. The study is performed in dry air and in a mix of dry air with carbon monoxide of different concentrations. The Hooge noise parameter α_H and the parameter γ in the frequency dependence of the noise voltage spectral density S_U(ƒ) were determined from experimental data. High sensitivity of spectral dependence of noise to gas concentration allows offering powerful method for determination of gas concentration in the air or environment.
