-
摘要: 阐述了硅单晶中非平衡载流子寿命与注入水平的函数关系以及少子寿命与复合寿命的区别,通过变光强测量得到一组寿命与注入水平的实测数据,用拟合法求得少子寿命及复合寿命与注入水平的函数曲线,所得结果与S-R-H理论模型相符。根据理论与实验成果,提出改进寿命测试一致性的方案,同时为发行少子寿命标准样品奠定了基础。Abstract: The functional relationship between the non-equilibrium carrier lifetime and the injection level in single crystalline silicon, and the difference between the minority-carrier lifetime and the recombination lifetime of minority- and majority-carrier are elaborated. A set of measured lifetime and injection level data are obtained by the variable light intensity measurement. The function curves of the carrier lifetime and the injection level are obtained by the fitting method, which is consistent with the S-R-H model. According to the theory and experimental results, the scheme of improving the consistency of carrier lifetime measurement is proposed, and the foundation for the production of the minority-carrier lifetime reference material is laid.
