  • Abstract
    Optical techniques are finding an increasing number of applications for the characterization of semiconductor materials and devices. An introduction to this field is given, starting with a review of the principles behind the most popular techniques. The techniques are illustrated by examining specific examples of technological importance taken from the recent literature. They include several examples of identification of materials, mapping of wafers with high spatial resolution, and in-situ probing of growth and of device operation
