Abstract

The characterization of single crystalline silicon wafers for application in (opto)electronic devices by transient photoconductivity measurements is investigated. To this aim is the transient photoconductivity in Si wafers after different treatments determined by the Time Resolved Microwave Conductivity ( TRMC ) method. This technique is non-evasive and contactless and so in-situ measurements are possible. Application of TRMC measurements for process control and quality control of relevant process steps in the production of (opto)electronic devices is discussed in view of the experimental results presented.
