Product wafer junction leakage measurement using light and eddy current

A method for measuring junction leakage in a semiconductor product wafer while applying varying light to the wafer. A surface photovoltage characteristic for the wafer and an eddy current characteristic for the wafer in response to the light are measured. A junction leakage characteristic for at lea...

Zusammenfassung:A method for measuring junction leakage in a semiconductor product wafer while applying varying light to the wafer. A surface photovoltage characteristic for the wafer and an eddy current characteristic for the wafer in response to the light are measured. A junction leakage characteristic for at least one of junction types is determined by simultaneously measuring the surface photovoltage and the induced eddy current characteristics in response to a light flash.
