半導體量測技術 Semiconductor Materials and Device Characterization Topic 1: resistivity and Four point Probe Instructor: Dr. Yi-Mu Lee Department of Electronic Engineering National United University
Resistivity: Four point probe Features: two probes: carry current two probes: sense the voltage First proposed by Wenner in 1916 Target: from resistivity to S.C. doping profile
Four point probe Voltage probes are very high impedence (~1012 ohms) Negligible: why? (due to a very small current) Rc (contact resistance) Rp (probe resistance) Rsp (spreading resistance) Rsp: occurs when current flows from the probe to S.C and from S.C to probe Special Features: ρ= 2Πs (V/I) 1. S = 1.588mm, 2Πs = 1 2. Smaller probe spacings allow measurements closer to wafer edges

Determine conductivity type: using 4-point probe Rectification method Current meter n-type silicon: --When ac voltage at probe 2 is “+” Then voltage drop V42 is small (because metal-S.C. is forward biased) --When ac voltage at probe 2 is “-” Then voltage drop V42 is large (because metal-S.C. is reversed biased) Fig. from D.

Homework: • To measure the sheet resistance of a resistor layer, taking into account the parastic series contact resistance, a test structure consisting of resistors with the same width and different length is provided. Measuring the resistances of the resistors with lengths L1 = 10 μm and L2 = 30 μm, the following values are obtained: R1 = 365 ohm and R2 = 1085 ohm, respectively. If the width of the resistors is 5 μm, determine the sheet resistance and the contact resistance values. • Chapter 2 • 2.1 • 2.8
