Measurements of the low-frequency noise in AlSb∕InAs high-electron-mobility transistor structures over the temperature range between 60 and 300K are reported. Without illumination, the slope of the noise level with frequency was found to be close to 1∕f with a Hooge parameter, αH, of 9×10−3 at room temperature. With broad-spectrum visible-light illumination at lower temperatures, however, the noise level increases greatly and displays a strong Lorentzian component with the characteristic 1∕f2 slope above the corner frequency. The associated sheet resistance also increases greatly, consistent with previously observed negative photoconductivity in AlSb∕InAs quantum wells.
