“…It is believed that, the burst noise in forward junctions is due to the crystallographic defects present in the vicinity of the junction while in reversed junctions it is due to an irregular on-off switching of a surface conduction path as a result of random thermal fluctuations. Hsu and Whittier (Hsu & Whittier, 1969) dealt with an issue of determining whether the burst noise in forward junctions is a surface effect or volume effect. Extensive research has suggested that the burst noise in forward biased junctions is more a surface effect than a volume effect.…”
