Determination of bulk diffusion length in thin semiconductor layers by SEM-EBIC

Show affiliations


The SEM-EBIC current through a Schottky diode, with the junction plane parallel to the surface of a thin semiconductor layer, is calculated when the electron beam of the SEM is line-scanned across the surface. It is shown that the bulk diffusion length of minority carriers can be accurately determined from the dependence of EBIC decay on layer thickness. This method is applied to n-type LPE GaP.
