    摘要: A method and apparatus for determining the characteristics of materials, particularly of semi-conductors, semi-conductor heterostructures and semi-conductor interfaces by the use of photoreflectance, in which monochromatic light and modulated light beam reflected from the sample is detected to produce a d.c. signal and an a.c. signal, whereby the d.c. signal is applied to one input of a computer and the a.c. signal is used with another input of the computer which controls the light intensity of the monochromatic light impinging on the sample to maintain the d.c. signal substantially constant. A stepping motor is preferably utilized for varying the light intensity of the monochromatic light. Additionally, the modulation frequency of the modulated beam and/or the wavelength of the monochromatic light can also be varied by the computer. Growth conditions of semi-conductor materials as well as information about trap times can be obtained by analyzing the energy band gaps and determining the dependence of the in-phase photoreflectance signal on the pump modulating frequency, respectively.

A stepping motor is preferably utilized for varying the light intensity of the monochromatic light which is controlled by a computer to re-establish rapidly a predetermined d.c. signal established during normalization procedures when the light intensity of the monochromatic light changes, especially during change of its wavelength. Additionally, the modulation frequency of the modulated beam and/or the wavelength of the monochromatic light can also be varied by the computer.

    摘要: A method for in-situ determination by photoreflectance of the Fermi level (V.sub.F) at the surfaces or interfaces of GaAs and related materials, in which a probe beam of monochromatic light and a modulated pump beam from a pump source are directed onto a sample, and the measured barrier height V.sub.m =V.sub.F -V.sub.S is obtained from the information in the reflected light, where V.sub.S represents the surface voltage effects on the sample by the photoreflectance, whereby V.sub.m approaches V.sub.F as V.sub.S approaches zero during repeated tests in which a parameter such as temperature affecting the numerical value of V.sub.S is changed until there is flattening of the curve illlustrating V.sub.m as a function of the parameter.
