Lifetime Depth Profile Measurement Method in Heavily Doped Semiconductors Using Electron Beams
SourceA method for depth profiling the minority carrier lifetime of heavily doped semiconductors is described. The technique utilizes an electron beam to generate electron hole pairs as a function of depth. By utilizing an exact numerical model for the semiconductor current flow equations, the minority carrier lifetime as a function of depth can be determined.
