Abstract :
A novel method of surface recombination velocity measurement for evaluating high-voltage lateral power devices is presented. This method is based on the combination of experiment and simulation for the time decay of photoluminescence emitted from Si crystals. Good results were obtained for a Si crystal with an SiO2 cap
