Noise formula describing the 1/f noise in InSb films is pointed out. The noise-intensity coefficient K is introduced as a variable depending on film-preparation methods. Experimentally, K/sup 2/ changes by two orders of magnitude. However, existing noise calculations show that K/sup 2/ should remain constant except for a dimension factor. Therefore, the experimental results cannot be explained by the existing theory.
