The system consists of an electrochemical
capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurement system (Biorad) which
permits carrier concentration determination via C-V measurement
as a function of depth in the sample. In this apparatus, the
traditional metal Schottky-metal ohmic contact for the C-V
measurement is replaced by a conductive electrolyte solution.
Variation of the voltage on the electrolyte cell leads to
dissolution of the semiconductor, so that the semiconductor may
be repetitively etched and measured, leading to a highly accurate
measurement of carrier concentration versus depth in the sample.
This apparatus greatly improves the ease of obtaining
experimental doping calibrations by permitting the continuous
determination of doping concentration in a single semiconductor
sample grown with step changes in deposition conditions.
