文摘The structural variation and its influence on the 1/f noise of a-Si_(1-x)Ru_x thin films are investigated by Raman spectroscopy,transmission electron microscopy, and low frequency noise measurement.

It is shown that the 1/f noise of the films can be reduced by a slight doping with Ru atoms. Moreover, both the microstructure and the 1/f noise performance of a-Si_(1-x)Ru_x thin films could be improved through a high-temperature annealing treatment.
