    Semiconductor Materials Testing

    Semiconductor material testing is a technique for analyzing and testing the characteristic parameters of semiconductor materials. Due to the wide variety of semiconductor materials, complex processing techniques, different shapes, and high technical difficulties, it is necessary to measure the characteristic parameters of semiconductor materials to truly reflect the quality of semiconductor materials, master the generation process of their key parameters, so as to guide the update and iteration of R&D technology.

    When manufacturing semiconductor devices such as transistors, there are certain requirements for the conductive type, resistivity value, minority carrier lifetime, dislocation density and other parameters of semiconductor materials, and different devices have different requirements. Whether the prepared materials meet the requirements of manufacturing devices must also be tested and identified. The measurement of material resistivity, non-equilibrium minority carrier lifetime and dislocation density are the most important and basic work in material identification.

    It can be seen that semiconductor materials are the cornerstones of industries such as microelectronics, optoelectronics, and solar energy, and their electrical, optical, and mechanical properties will affect the performance and quality of semiconductor devices. Therefore, the testing and analysis of the performance and structure of semiconductor materials is an important aspect of the research and development of semiconductor materials.
