Abstract
Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) is a fast, accurate, reliable method for studying molecular structure and composition. Both qualitative and quantitative analyses can be performed on a wide variety of materials. The FTIR spectroscopy laboratory has large-area and micro- reflectance and transmittance capabilities, including automated mapping, in the infrared range from 1.3 to 25 mm.We will examine several examples where FTIR is useful for analyzing semiconductor and photovoltaic- related materials. Although not presented here, FT-Raman and FT-Photoluminescence are additional techniques available to study vibrational modes and emitted radiation of electronic transitions in a wavelength range from 0.8 to 2.5 mm.
