In a contactless photo conductance measurement system the radio-frequency (RF) probe transmission (ΔV/ V0) should be proportional to the product of laser-induced carrier concentration and carrier mobility (???Σμ) through a sensitivity factor (A). We use 532 nm laser (pump)-millimeter wave (mmw-probe) system whose concentrations (???) are calculated by considering single-surface reflection of the laser beam and mobility (Σμ) derived from a model. In order to ascertain A we use five c-Si (100) samples having resistivity in the range 15-130 Ω-cm. For relating (ΔV/V0) with ???Σμ to find A, we take their ratio and quantify A once using a quadratic-fit functional form of the ratio of sample resistivity to air resistivity (ρ/ρ0), and another time using product of free-space impedance and sample thickness (ρ/Z0t). A is.. Read More»
