  • Abstract
    Constant capacitance measurement of bulk generation lifetime using MOS capacitors with a typical desktop computer controlled interface bus measurement system is shown to be practical for medium-and high-lifetime silicon. Refinements to the basic technique are developed to deal with surface generation, diffusion from the neutral bulk, and generation in the lateral surface depletion region.
