Free Carrier Absorption and Interstitial Oxygen Measurements
SourceThe infrared (IR) absorption of n- and p-type silicon samples was measured over the concentration range ∼1015 to 6×1017 atoms/-cm−3. The free carrier absorption exhibited a power-law dependence on wavenumber. The data were fit to a logarithmic function with this dependence, and these results were applied to the determination of the baseline from which to compute the corrected net IR absorption at 1107 cm−1 due to interstitial oxygen. Application of this correction for the free carrier absorption results in an improvement of 3% to 30% in the accuracy of the oxygen content determination at dopant concentrations above 1016 atoms/cm3.
