Abstract :
The authors present a statistically designed experiment to test a previously proposed 1/f2 noise generation model (see T.M Chen and J.G Cottle, 1988). The experiment is designed to provide data on a possible current-density-dependent noise activation energy as well as to test the validity of the model over a wide range of measurement parameters of Al-Cu(1.9%) films. The proposed experiment is based on a single-measurement-per-film methodology. This approach assures that the data are not corrupted by errors associated with multiple measurements on the same thin film. Preliminary results indicate the need to transform the noise data before statistical analysis may be performed
