摘要:
A method for adjusting an operating parameter of a particle beam device and a sample holder, which is suitable in particular for performing the method are provided. An adjustment of an operating parameter of a particle beam device is possible without transfer of the sample holder out of the particle beam device. A reference sample is placed in a first sample receptacle, so that in ongoing operation of the particle beam device, the sample holder need only be positioned in such a way that the reference sample is bombarded and measured with the aid of a particle beam generated in the particle beam device.
摘要:
The depth of a denuded layer with respect to a relatively defective bulk region of a monocrystalline semiconductor wafer is estimated in a nondestructive way. The depth is determined by measuring the lifetime or diffusion length of injected excess minority charge carriers on a surface of the wafer having such a denuded layer and on a different portion of the surface of the wafer from where the denuded layer has been previously stripped-off by lapping and/or etching. The depth is calculated through a best-fit procedure or through numerical processing of the measurement results on the basis of the diffusion equations of excess minority carriers.
