In base-to-emitter diodes of p-n-p germanium transistors biased in reverse direction far below breakdown, bistable current fluctuations have been observed. These fluctuations show the typical waveform of a random telegraph signal. Its statistical properties have been analyzed. The mean-value crossing-time intervals of current measured by a multichannel pulse-height analyzer turned out to be independent of reverse voltage but dependent upon temperature. Detailed experimental data are given.
