  8. Goutam Koley Surface conductivity measurements (a) Morphology, (b) conductivity, and (c) overlap of the surface morphology and conductivity images

  9. Goutam Koley Scanned gate microscopy Scanned gate microscopy is useful to determine the variation of conductivity along a thin channel, and where direct measurement of conductivity is difficult (a) Experimental set up for SGM, (c) the SGM image of a single-walled CNT bundle for Vtip = 1 V; Black corresponds to very high resistance.

  10. Goutam Koley Scanning capacitance microscopy Scanning capacitance technique actually measures the dC/dV signal which is inversely proportional to doping. The advantages of this technique include a large measurement range (1015 – 1020 cm-3), and resolution of <10 nm For capacitance measurement a low frequency ac voltage is applied to the sample. The ac voltage periodically changes the tip-sample capacitance. The sensor produces a high frequency signal to measure very small capacitance changes.

  11. Goutam Koley Application of capacitance microscopy Cross-sectional measurement in a MOSFET under actual operation

  12. Goutam Koley The dC/dV decreases around the dislocations indicating the reduction in the background carrier concentration Applications to GaN samples Capacitance image Morphology image C-V curve
