Abstract

It is shown that the conductivity, thickness, and impurity activation energy of semiconductor layers can be determined from the results of measuring the frequency dependence of the reflection coefficient of microwave electromagnetic radiation at different temperatures. A technique for solving the corresponding inverse problem is presented.
