Abstract:
The apparatus and technique discloses a method for measuring the resistivity of semiconductor material over several decades by varying the inductance of a RF energized coil and where the method is significantly independent of operating frequency, type of semiconductor material and the nature of the sample surface and surface and surface condition or preparation.
Abstract:
An apparatus for detecting the presence of inclusions in semiconductor material having a polychromatic light source, a support for a semiconductor body, a light sensing means positioned to operate on light transmitted through the body from the light source, the sensing means including a substrate of the same type of semiconductor materials as the material of the semiconductor body, and having at least a PN junction in the substrate with means to backbias the junction, a means to indicate the relative amounts of light transmitted through the semiconductor body that is sensed by the sensing means. A method for detecting internal inclusion in a semiconductor body by directing through the body a beam of polychromatic light, sensing the light energy transmitted to the body with a light sensing element of the same type semiconductor material as the body being investigated.
