Abstract

A contactless and non-destructive method for the determination of the doping concentration of heavily doped silicon wafers is proposed. The method is based on a comparison between photocarrier radiometry signals acquired from different surfaces of samples and a comprehensive mathematical model by exploiting photon reabsorption in photocarrier radiometry measurements. With the proposed mathematical model, the influence of experimental and sample parameters on the measurement of the doping concentration is analyzed in detail. The uncertainties and limitations of the method are also discussed. Furthermore, an experimental configuration is proposed.
