Sheet resistance measurement on AlGaN/GaN wafers and dispersion study

An important dispersion in the Rsheet measurement of AlGaN/GaN wafers was found on different samples, with or without SiN passivation. The dispersion is due to a drift of the Rsheet appearing when the sample is placed in the dark. This drift is different for each sample and it is caused by a trapping mechanism. A constant measurement of the Rsheet can be obtained under illumination. Thus, two parameters deserve measurement for an efficient screening of a technology: Rsheet under light and ΔRsheet in obscurity.

Highlights

•We study the dispersion in the Rsheet measurement.

•We study the light influence on the Rsheet measurement.

•We deduce a trapping mechanism in the AlGaN/GaN stack.

•We simulate the trapping phenomenon.

Float-Zone Mono-Crystalline Silicon

PAM-XIAMEN can offer float zone silicon wafer, which is obtained by Float Zone method. Monocrystalline silicon rods is got through float zone growth, and then process the monocrystalline silicon rods into silicon wafers, called float zone silicon wafers. Since the zone-melted silicon wafer is not in contact with the quartz crucible during the floating zone silicon process, the silicon material is in a suspended state. Thereby, it is less polluted during the process of floating zone melting of silicon. The carbon content and oxygen content are lower, the impurities are less, and the resistivity is higher. It is suitable for the manufacture of power devices and certain high-voltage electronic devices.
