A microwave reflection technique for measuring both the transient and quiescent electrical conductivity of semiconductors in a temperature range from 4.2 to 450 K is described. This technique eliminates the difficulties due to non-Ohmic contacts when making electrical measurements on semiconductors, particularly silicon.
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.
