Abstract

In subsurface characterization for Si wafers using a photoconductivity technique with a ultra-violet photoexcitation and millimeter wave reflection, high sensitivity technique for100 GHz was discussed experimentally and theoretically. The technique detected photoconductivity decays measured for p/p+ and n/n+ epitaxial wafers. The epilayer contaminated with Mo and Fe was characterized by the technique. Photoconductivity amplitude (PCA) intensity measured for as-polished Si wafers in commercial use after removing the subsurface by SC1 cleanings well reflected the behavior of removal of slight subsurface damage induced by mirror-polishing. The damage depth was determined to be 21 nm.
