[19p-131-15] Measurement of carbon concentration in silicon crystal
(XVII) Measurement of polysilicon down to 1014 cm-3 by infrared absorption
Keywords:silicon crystal, carbon concentration measurement, infrared absorption
Infrared absorption measurement of carbon concentration in polycrystalline silicon was examined. A reference sample with substitutional carbon below 10^14 atoms/cm^3 was used. Interfering phonon fractional absorption bands were reduced by a heat treatment and removed by the Lorentzian fitting. No concentration difference was observed in the difference spectra showing that concentration was under 10^14/cm^3.
