Abstract

The application of transient photoconductivity measurements in the microwave frequency range to the characterization of semiconductors and semiconductor devices is analyzed. Quality control and in-situ optimization are discussed from a more general point of view and as a concrete example the optimization of the deposition of amorphous silicon films is presented.
