Contactless Technique for Measuring Minority-Carrier Parameters in Silicon

Materials Science

Research output: Contribution to conference › Paper

Abstract

Characterization of minority-carrier parameters is a primary interest for a range of devices, including solar cells. For 'on-line' testing needs, contactless techniques are mandatory, as any diagnostic requiring contact formation is impractical. Here, we will describe the resonance-coupled; photoconductive decay (RCPCD) technique that has proven to be a valuable diagnostic for a number ofsemiconductor technologies.
