Abstract

In recent years several spectroscopic methods based on deep level photoionization have been developed because of the demand to investigate materials spreading over a wide range of resistivities. This paper deals with some capacitance- and current-based analyses, that are mature techniques for the characterization of semiconducting as well as semi-insulating materials with respect of deep level identification as well as spatial distribution. Results relevant to novel materials are also reported.
