    摘要: A method and system for measuring whole-wafer etch pit density (.rho..sub.D) is disclosed in which an etch GaAs wafer is tested for fractional transmission at a plurality of points over its surface. The fractional transmission (T) of light through the wafer is detected, amplified and fed to a computer where at least two points of transmission measurement are selected for calibration. From these measurements, together with an estimate of the average etch pit size (area), the values for fractional transmission in regions of low etch pit density T.sub.O and high etch pit density T.sub.E may be calculated, and used to convert transmission data directly to etch pit density (.rho..sub.D) according to the equation ##EQU1##
