In this paper, it is shown that the analysis of the interference fringes due to light reflected from an N-type siliconepitaxial layer grown on an N+ silicon substrate can give both thickness and free carrier concentration of the film, provideda few requirements are met. The technique, which is typically nondestructive, is characterized by a sensitivitywhich is better than in other optical methods.

Abstract

In this paper, it is shown that the analysis of the interference fringes due to light reflected from an N-type siliconepitaxial layer grown on an N+ silicon substrate can give both thickness and free carrier concentration of the film, provideda few requirements are met. The technique, which is typically nondestructive, is characterized by a sensitivitywhich is better than in other optical methods.
