光载流子辐射技术已广泛应用于半导体材料性能的表征, 本文基于一种包含光子重吸收效应的光载流子辐射理论模型, 对单晶硅中光子重吸收效应对光载流子辐射信号的影响进行了详细的理论分析. 分析结果表明, 光子重吸收效应对光载流子辐射信号的影响主要取决于样品掺杂浓度、过剩载流子浓度和过剩载流子的分布. 由于过剩载流子浓度及其分布与材料电子输运特性密切相关, 电子输运参数的变化将导致光子重吸收效应的影响随之变化. 进一步分析了光子重吸收效应对具有不同电子输运特性的样品的电子输运参数的影响, 并提出了减小光子重吸收效应影响的方法.In microelectronic and photovoltaic industry, semiconductors are the base materials in which impurities or defects have a serious influence on the properties of semiconductor-based devices. The determination of the electronic transport properties, i.e., the carrier bulk lifetime (
$\tau $ ), diffusion coefficient (D) and front surface recombination velocity (S1), is important in the evaluation of semiconductor materials. In this paper, the influence of reabsorption of spontaneously emitted photons within silicon wafers on conventional frequency domain photocarrier radiometric (PCR) is theoretically analyzed. The model with photon reabsorption, proposed by our previous paper, in which both band-to-band absorption and free carrier absorption are taken into account, is used. It is shown that the influence strongly depends on not only the doping level, but also the excess carrier density and its distribution, which are sensitive to the electronic transport properties. The influences of photon reabsorption on PCR amplitude and phase increase with doping level and carrier lifetime increasing. While, as the diffusion coefficient and the front surface recombination velocity increase, the influence of photon reabsorption on PCR amplitude decreases but on PCR phase increases. If photon reabsorption is ignored in the determination of the electronic transport parameters for high-doping silicon wafers via multi-parameter fitting, there are large errors for the fitted results. For a sample with$\tau $ = 50 μs, D = 20 cm2/s, and S1 = 10 m/s, if the effect of photon reabsorption is ignored, the fitting results with conventional PCR model are 55.66 μs, 19.98 cm2/s, and 11.94 m/s, and the corresponding deviations from the true value are 11.33%, 0.10%, and 19.40%, respectively. In addition, simulation results show the effect of photon reabsorption can be greatly reduced with a suitable filter in front of the detector, while still enabling the majority of the emitted signal to be captured. For example, with a 1100 nm long-pass filter, the fitted results for the same sample above are 51.43 μs, 20.19 cm2/s, and 9.88 m/s with the relative errors of 2.86%, 0.95%, and 1.23%, respectively. It should be pointed out that an infinitely steep cut-on edge of the long-pass filter is assumed in our simulations, while in fact the influences of the filter on PCR signal and the fitted results should be further considered.-
