An improved method for determining carrier densities via drive level capacitance profiling
In this paper, we demonstrate that an analytic relationship between coefficients in the Taylor expansion of the junction capacitance can be exploited to yield more precise determinations of carrier densities in drive level capacitance profiling (DLCP). Improvements are demonstrated on data generated according to the DLCP theory and in measurements performed on a CuInxGa1–xSe2 device. We argue that the improved DLCP method is especially important for non-uniform devices, which are more susceptible to noise in the capacitance data used in DLCP because they require that the amplitude of the drive level be restricted. Importantly, the analysis does not require themore »
