Silicon Ingot, FZ intrinsic undoped, MCC lifetime
An intrinsic(pure) semiconductor, also called an undoped semiconductor or i-type semiconductor,
is a pure semiconductor without any significant dopant species present. The number of charge carriers is therefore determined by the properties of the material itself instead of the amount of impurities.
In intrinsic semiconductors the number of excited electrons and the number of holes are equal: n = p.
This may even be the case after doping the semiconductor, though only if it is doped with both donors and acceptors equally. In this case, n = p still holds, and the semiconductor remains intrinsic, though doped.

2. FAQ about MCC Lifetime Measurement
Q: Please tell me more about your MCC lifetime measurement. How do you measure and guarantee the MCC lifetime?
A: Normally, μPCD-microwave photoconductivity decay is used to measure the minority charge carrier lifetime (MCC lifetime) of the wafer quickly, without contact and without damage. Specifically, Using a laser with a wavelength of 904 nm to excite the silicon wafer (for silicon, the implantation depth is about 30 μm), electron hole pairs are generated, resulting in an increase in the conductivity of the sample. When the external light is removed, the conductivity decays exponentially with time.
This trend is indirect. Reflecting the attenuation trend of the minority carrier number, the lifetime of minority carriers (MCC lifetime) can be obtained by microwave(Frequency 10.225GHz) detection of the conductivity of the silicon wafer with time.
