摘要
The behavior of minority carriers in silicon MOS structures has been investigated experimentally. For this purpose a Shockley-Haynes measurement set-up was adapted to MOS structures. By choosing the accumulation regime of the MOS structure, the minority carriers are kept away from the surface and their bulk properties apply. Five n-type and p-type samples with substrate doping concentrations in the range N-sub = 10(15)-1.2 x 10(17) cm(-3) were measured. In addition the drift field was varied in the range E = 5-100 V cm(-1) and the temperature was varied in the range T = 88-423 K. Using a dedicated evaluation strategy we have simultaneously determined the bulk values of the minority carrier mobility mu, the diffusion coefficient D, and the lifetime tau, the values of which are presented as a function of temperature and field strength, with the inherent error.
