Problems solved by technology

For example, the silicon raw material purified by physical metallurgy contains high concentrations of impurities such as boron and phosphorus at the same time. There is a boron and phosphorus compensation effect in crystalline silicon grown using this raw material. This effect is first manifested in the high concentration of boron and phosphorus impurities. leading to a decrease in carrier mobility

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the detection of characteristic parameters of semiconductor materials, in particular to a method for measuring carrier concentration in solar-grade monocrystalline silicon. Background technique [0002] The electrons and holes that can conduct electricity in semiconductor materials are called carriers, and the carrier concentration is a basic parameter of optoelectronic materials, which has an extremely important impact on electrical properties. In semiconductor materials, the type and concentration of doped impurities are often controlled to control the carrier concentration in the material, and finally achieve the purpose of controlling the electrical properties of the material. Solar-grade semiconductor materials have high requirements for material purity, carrier mobility, and light absorption coefficient. The monitoring and control of carrier concentration and distribution in semiconductors is a key point in the manufactu...
