Pump-probe surface photovoltage spectroscopy measurements on semiconductor epitaxial layers

Journal Article Jana, Dipankar ; Porwal, S. ; Sharma, T. K., E-mail: tarun@rrcat.gov.in ; ... - Review of Scientific Instruments

Pump-probe Surface Photovoltage Spectroscopy (SPS) measurements are performed on semiconductor epitaxial layers. Here, an additional sub-bandgap cw pump laser beam is used in a conventional chopped light geometry SPS setup under the pump-probe configuration. The main role of pump laser beam is to saturate the sub-bandgap localized states whose contribution otherwise swamp the information related to the bandgap of material. It also affects the magnitude of Dember voltage in case of semi-insulating (SI) semiconductor substrates. Pump-probe SPS technique enables an accurate determination of the bandgap of semiconductor epitaxial layers even under the strong influence of localized sub-bandgap states. The pumpmore »« less

Combined frequency modulated atomic force microscopy and scanning tunneling microscopy detection for multi-tip scanning probe microscopy applications

Journal Article Morawski, Ireneusz ; Institute of Experimental Physics, University of Wrocław, pl. M. Borna 9, 50-204 Wrocław ; Spiegelberg, Richard ; ... - Review of Scientific Instruments

A method which allows scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) tip biasing independent of the sample bias during frequency modulated atomic force microscopy (AFM) operation is presented. The AFM sensor is supplied by an electronic circuit combining both a frequency shift signal and a tunneling current signal by means of an inductive coupling. This solution enables a control of the tip potential independent of the sample potential. Individual tip biasing is specifically important in order to implement multi-tip STM/AFM applications. An extensional quartz sensor (needle sensor) with a conductive tip is applied to record simultaneously topography and conductivity of the sample. Themore »« less

Quantitative measurement of local carrier concentration of semiconductor from displacement current-voltage curve using a scanning vibrating tip

Conference Majima, Yutaka ; Oyama, Yutaka ; Iwamoto, Mitsumasa

A new scanning probe method for evaluating the local carrier concentration of semiconductors is presented. The distance between a semiconductor surface and a vibrating tip is changed sinusoidally, and is adjusted to as small as a few nm across which tunneling current I{sub T} flows between the semiconductor surface and the vibrating tip. Displacement current I{sub D} due to the change in electric flux from the semiconductor surface to the vibrating tip flows periodically in accordance with the vibration of the tip. I{sub T} also flows when the distance becomes minimum. Both I{sub T} and I{sub D} flow simultaneously whenmore »« less
Efficient electrochemical etching method to fabricate sharp metallic tips for scanning probe microscopes

Journal Article Kim, Pilkyu ; Kim, Jun Ho ; Jeong, Mun Seok ; ... - Review of Scientific Instruments

A new technique based on electrochemical etching for the fabrication of sharp metallic tips for scanning probe microscopes is introduced. In the proposed method, a small Teflon mass is attached to the end of an immersed tungsten wire using an aluminum tape, which leads to a significant enhancement of yield rate of sharp tungsten tips with an apex size below 100 nm to over 60%. The functionality of the tungsten tips fabricated by the proposed method is verified by measuring the topography of a standard sample using a shear-force scanning probe microscope.
