Comparison of Carrier Lifetime Measurements and Mapping in 4H SiC Using Time Resolved Photoluminscence and μ-PCD

Article Preview

Abstract:

Carrier lifetime measurements and wafer mappings have been done on several different 4H SiC wafers to compare two different measurement techniques, time-resolved photoluminescence and microwave induced photoconductivity decay. The absolute values of the decay time differ with a factor of two, as expected from recombination and measurement theory. Variations within each wafer are comparable with the two techniques. Both techniques are shown to be sensitive for substrate quality and distribution of extended defects.
