An improvement is made on the technique of determining the impurity density in a semiconductor from C-V measurements. It is shown that the average impurity density inside the depletion region plays a major part in precise determination of shallow and deep impurity profiles. Measurements of time variation of the bias voltage with the capacitance unchanged are useful for deep levels, and make it feasible to gain knowledge of their energy levels and density profiles simultaneously. These techniques are successfully applied to n-type VPE GaAs on Cr-doped semi-insulating substrates.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
