Description

一种半导体的测试方法和测试装置 技术领域
本申请实施例涉及显示技术领域,更具体的说,涉及一种半导体的测试方法和测试装置。
背景技术
载流子寿命就是指非平衡载流子的寿命。而非平衡载流子一般也就是非平衡少数载流子(因为只有少数载流子才能注入到半导体内部、并积累起来,多数载流子即使注入进去后也就通过库仑作用而很快地消失了),所以非平衡载流子寿命也就是指非平衡少数载流子寿命,即少数载流子寿命。例如,对n型半导体,非平衡载流子寿命也就是指的是非平衡空穴的寿命。
对于主要是依靠少数载流子输运(扩散为主)来工作的双极型半导体器件,少数载流子寿命是一个直接影响到器件性能的重要参量。这时,常常采用的一个相关参量就是少数载流子扩散长度L(等于扩散系数与寿命之乘积的平方根),L即表征少数载流子一边扩散、一边复合所能够走过的平均距离。少数载流子寿命越长,扩散长度就越大。
对于双极结型晶体(BJT),为了保证少数载流子在基区的复合尽量少(以获得很大的电流放大系数),则必须把基区宽度缩短到少数载流子的扩散长度以下。因此,要求基区的少数载流子寿命越长越好。
由于不同的半导体器件对于载流子复合寿命的需求不同,故而如何准确的测试出半导体材料的载流子复合寿命非常的重要。
应该注意,上面对技术背景的介绍只是为了方便对本申请的技术方案进行清楚、完整的说明,并方便本领域技术人员的理解而阐述的。不能仅仅因为这些方案在本申请的背景技术部分进行了阐述而认为上述技术方案为本领域技术人员所公知。
技术问题
本申请实施例首先要解决的技术问题是提供一种能够检测半导体的非平衡载流子复合寿命的半导体材料的测试方法。
本申请实施例进一步要解决的技术问题是提供一种使用检测半导体的非平衡载流子复合寿命的半导体材料的测试方法的测试装置。
技术解决方案
本申请实施例首先提供了一种半导体材料的测试方法,包括步骤:
通过脉冲激光激发测试样品,产生光电导效应;
探测光电导效应的衰弱信息;
通过分析光电导效应和衰弱信息从而得到测试样品非平衡载流子的复合寿命。
进一步的,所述通过脉冲激光激发测试样品,产生光电导效应的步骤之前还包括:
检测测试样品的初始电导率σ0,以及对应的初始微波信号V0。本实施方案中,由于该半导体测试样品存在初始电导率和初始微波信号V0,本方案对其进行测试,有利于提高本申请的测试精度。
进一步的,所述通过脉冲激光激发测试样品,产生光电导效应的步骤包括:
检测测试样品的电导率σ和微波信号V,并分别根据公式σ=σ0+Δσ求得Δσ,以及公式V=V0+ΔV求得ΔV;
Δσ为光致电导率的变化量,而ΔV为微波信号变化量。本实施方案中,由于脉冲激光的激发,该半导体测试样品的内部将产生电子-空穴对,并产生光电导导致微波反射率发生变化,进而引起微波信号V的变化,本方案中,通过检测可以得到其变化量,该检测有利于后期的计算,并能够提高测试精度。
进一步的,所述光电导效应的效应公式为:
Δσ=q(Δnμe+Δpμp),其中Δσ为光致电导率的变化量,q为电子电量,Δn为激光激发产生的电子浓度,Δ p为空穴浓度,μe为电子迁移率,μp为空穴迁移率。本实施方案中,该光电导对应的效应公式为Δσ=q(Δnμe+Δpμp),其中,由于电子和空穴对通常承兑产生,故而Δn=Δp。
进一步的,所述探测光电导效应的衰弱信息的步骤包括:
采用微波反射方式探测光电导效应的衰弱信息;
所述衰弱信号包括:微波信号V的指数衰减曲线,其公式为:
V=V0*e -t/ τ;其中V0指的是初始微波信号,t指的是脉冲激光关断时间,τ指的是非平衡载流子在复合前的平均生存时间,称为非平衡载流子复合寿命。本实施方案中,通过该微波方式,能够对电导效应和该非平衡载流子将逐渐复合消失掉这一衰弱过程进行检测,通过分析光电导效应和微波信号V的变化曲线可以得出该半导体测试样品的复合寿命。
进一步的,所述脉冲激光的波长为:249nm-449nm。
进一步的,所述脉冲激光的波长为349nm。
进一步的,所述微波反射方式由可控微波源实现,所述可控微波源采用的微波波长为24-26GHz。

图1是本申请实施例一种半导体材料的测试方法的流程图,包括步骤:
S1、通过脉冲激光激发测试样品,产生光电导效应;
S2、探测光电导效应的衰弱信息;
S3、通过分析光电导效应和衰弱信息从而得到测试样品非平衡载流子的复合寿命。
具体来讲,通过脉冲激光激发测试样品,使其产生电子-空穴对,从而产生光电导效应。
本申请实施例的测试方法是通过脉冲激光的方式激发半导体测试样品,使其产生电子-空穴对,即产生光电导效应;并在达到需求后,关断该脉冲激光,如此,该半导体测试样品将在脉冲激光激发撤销的情况下,由于复合率和产生率的差异,非平衡载流子将逐渐复合消失掉;而借助该微波反射方式能够对该光电导效应和该非平衡载流子将逐渐复合消失掉这一衰弱过程进行检测,从而得到该半导体测试样品非平衡载流子的复合寿命;整个测试过程,均通过非接触的方式进行,由于硅单晶棒、晶体管和开关管等不同器件对于半导体及其复合寿命的需求不同,该复合寿命的检测将能够使得相关器件能够发挥出更好地效用,无接触无污染的测试过程,有利于测试精度的提高。
本申请实施例中的半导体可以指的是活性层薄膜,该活性层薄膜包括N型硅锗化合物(n+-SixGey),P型硅锗化合物(p+-SixGey);N型掺杂氧化硅锗化合物Nn-dopedSiGe-rich SixGeyOz,P型掺杂氧化硅锗化合物(p-doped SiGe-rich SixGeyOz n+ or p+-layer);氧化硅锗化合物(SixGey and SiGe-rich SixGeyOx)。本申请实施例的方法能够在无接触无污染情况下,非破坏性的对其进行检测;当然,对于其他的半导体材料,在合适的情况下,本申请实施例的测试方法也是适用的。在显示技术领域,显示面板多采用半导体材料制作主动开关,因此,本申请实施例的技术方案在显示技术领域有广泛的应用。
图2是本申请实施例测试方法的测试过程示意图,其中,该纵轴对应微波信号V,横轴对应时间;参考图2,结合图1可知,本实施例可选的,通过脉冲激光激发测试样品,产生光电导效应的步骤之前还包括:
检测测试样品的初始电导率σ0,以及对应的初始微波信号V0。本实施方案中,由于该半导体测试样品存在初始电导率和初始微波信号V0,本方案对其进行测试,有利于提高本申请的测试精度;其中,该图2中的A阶段即对应脉冲激光注入前的阶段,此时测试样品的初始电导率σ0,以及对应的初始微波信号V0,该微波信号稳定。
本实施例可选的,通过脉冲激光激发测试样品,产生光电导效应的步骤包括:
检测测试样品的电导率σ和微波信号V,并分别根据公式σ=σ0+Δσ求得Δσ,以及公式V=V0+ΔV求得ΔV;
Δσ为光致电导率的变化量,而ΔV为微波信号变化量。本实施方案中,由于脉冲激光的激发,该半导体测试样品的内部将产生电子-空穴对,并产生光电导导致微波反射率发生变化,进而引起微波信号V的变化,本方案中,通过检测可以得到其变化量,该检测有利于后期的计算,并能够提高测试精度;其中,该图2中的B阶段对应脉冲激光注入后的阶段,脉冲激光的注入激发了材料内容产生电子-空穴对,及产生光电导现象,导致微波反射率发生变化,进而引起微波信号的变化。
本实施例可选的,光电导效应的效应公式为:
Δσ=q(Δnμe+Δpμp),其中Δσ为光致电导率的变化量,q为电子电量,Δn为激光激发产生的电子浓度,Δ p为空穴浓度,μe为电子迁移率,μp为空穴迁移率。本实施方案中,该光电导对应的效应公式为Δσ=q(Δnμe+Δpμp),其中,由于电子和空穴对通常承兑产生,故而Δn=Δp。
本实施例可选的,探测光电导效应的衰弱信息的步骤包括:
采用微波反射方式探测光电导效应的衰弱信息;
所述衰弱信号包括:微波信号V的指数衰减曲线,其公式为:
V=V0*e -t/ τ;其中V0指的是初始微波信号V0,t指的是脉冲激光关断时间,τ指的是非平衡载流子在复合前的平均生存时间,称为非平衡载流子复合寿命。本实施方案中,通过该微波方式,能够对电导效应和该非平衡载流子将逐渐复合消失掉这一衰弱过程进行检测,通过分析光电导效应和微波信号V的变化曲线可以得出该半导体测试样品的复合寿命;其中,该图2中的C阶段则是脉冲激光关断后的阶段,该阶段中,该测试样品的电导率,由于该Δσ逐渐减少以至于零,材料内部非平衡载流子因为其复合浓度Δn逐渐衰减至0,该过程对应表现为微波信号V的变化曲线,根据该变化曲线,可以得到非平衡载流子的复合寿命;当然,采用微波反射方式以外的其他方式检测该衰弱信息也是可以的,只要适用即可。
本实施例可选的,脉冲激光的波长为:249nm-449nm。
本实施例可选的,所述脉冲激光的波长为349nm。
本实施例可选的,微波反射方式由可控微波源实现,所述可控微波源采用的微波波长为24-26GHz。
图3是本申请一实施例的测试装置的示意图,参考图3,结合图1和图2可知,本申请一实施例还公开了一种使用于如前任一所述的半导体材料的测试方法的测试装置,包括:
脉冲激光发射器30,用于激发测试样品,产生光电导效应;
微波发生器10,用于探测光电导效应的衰弱信息;
微波接收器20,用于接收所述衰弱信息;
计算单元(图中未示出),用于通过分析光电导效应和衰弱信息从而得到测试样品非平衡载流子的复合寿命。
本申请实施例的测试装置用于实现本申请公开的测试方式,而该测试方法是通过脉冲激光的方式激发半导体测试样品,使其产生电子-空穴对,即产生光电导效应;并在达到需求后,关断该脉冲激光,如此,该半导体测试样品将在脉冲激光激发撤销的情况下,由于复合率和产生率的差异,非平衡载流子将逐渐复合消失掉;而借助该微波反射方式能够对该光电导效应和该非平衡载流子将逐渐复合消失掉这一衰弱过程进行检测,从而得到该半导体测试样品非平衡载流子的复合寿命;整个测试过程,均通过非接触的方式进行,由于硅单晶棒、晶体管和开关管等不同器件对于半导体及其复合寿命的需求不同,该复合寿命的检测将能够使得相关器件能够发挥出更好地效用。
本实施方案中,实际上还可以包括相敏检测器(Phase sensitive detector)、触发器(circutator)和波导(waveguide)等结构,但是其他部分的结构不是本申请的主要申请内容,故而不予赘述;另外,还可以包括用于计算该微波信号V的指数衰减曲线的计算单元。
另外,该微波发生器和微波接收器可以组合至一个探头实现,当然,在适当情况下,该微波发生器、微波接收器以及脉冲激光发生器可以组合到同一个测试装置中进行使用,如此,便不需要在测试过程中多次更换测试装置,而只需要切换功能即可,如此,可以减少更换装置发生的时间误差。提高测试精度。
本实施例可选的,微波发生器采用波长为24-26GHz的可控微波源;
所述脉冲激光发射器使用的脉冲激光的波长为349nm。
图4是本申请另一实施例半导体材料的测试装置的示意图。如图4所示,本申请一实施例提供一种测试装置包括:脉冲激光发射器100、微波发生器200、分流器300、循环器400以及检测器500。
首先,脉冲激光发射器100可以朝测试样品60发射第一激光束,例如第一激光束的波长为349nm,其中测试样品60可以例如包括绝缘衬底以及设置于绝缘衬底上的导电薄膜,藉由脉冲激光发射器100发射的第一激光束的激发,可使测试样品60中的导电薄膜中发生光电导效应。
在脉冲激光发射器100发射的第一激光束入射至测试样品60之后,微波发生器200可以发射微波,例如微波发生器200采用波长为24-26GHz的可控微波源。脉冲激光发射器100所发射的微波通过分流器300分流为两个特征(例如波长、幅度和频率等)相同的第一微波和第二微波,其中第一微波通过分流器300直接输出至检测器500而未入射至测试样品60,第二微波则从分流器300通过和循环器400入射至测试样品60。
在第二微波入射至测试样品60后,测试样品60将反射第二微波,接着循环器400接收通过测试样品60反射的第二微波,并将接收的第二微波输出至检测器500。
最后,检测器500可以检测并比对来自分流器300的第一微波和来自循环器400的通过测试样品60反射的第二微波,以产生衰弱信息。本领域技术人员应可以理解,实际上,循环器400亦可将通过测试样品60反射的第二微波输出至分流器300,再通过分流器300输出所述第二微波至检测器500。
例如,检测器500可以包括相位检测器500、幅度检测器500或其他适合的检测器,其中相位检测器500用以检测第一微波以及第二微波之间的相位偏移,而幅度检测器500用以检测第一微波以及第二微波之间的幅度差。
也就是说,在本实施例中,检测器500可以比对微波发生器200输出的第一微波与微波发生器200输出后通过产生光电导反应的测试样品60反射的第二微波之间的变化。接着,例如,本申请的测试装置可以还包括计算单元,用于通过分析光电导效应和衰弱信息,从而得到测试样品60的非平衡载流子的复合寿命。
本实施例可选的,测试装置可以还包括反馈调节模块,用以储存预定衰弱信息,并且反馈调节模块比对所储存的预定衰弱信息和来自检测器500的衰弱信息,并且根据比对结果调整脉冲激光发射器100产生不同于的第一激光束的第二激光束,而产生的第二激光束可以入射至测试样品60,使测试样品60产生不同程度的光电导反应。
图5是本申请又一实施例半导体材料的测试装置的示意图。如图5所示,本申请一实施例提供的一种测试装置包括:脉冲激光发射器100、微波发生器200、分流器300、循环器400以及检测器500。
首先,微波发生器200可以发射微波至分流器300,并通过分流器300将来自微波发生器200的微波分流为两个特征(例如波长、幅度和频率等)相同的第一微波和第二微波。在脉冲激光发射器100发射第一激光束之前,第一微波从分流器300通过循环器400入射到测试样品60。
在微波发生器200所产生的第一微波依序通过分流器300和循环器400入射到测试样品60之后,所述测试样品60将反射所述第一微波,循环器400接收通过所述测试样品60反射的第一微波并将其输出至检测器500。
接着,脉冲激光发射器100可以朝测试样品60发射第一激光束,以激发测试样品60的导电薄膜中发生光电导效应。在脉冲激光发射器100发射的第一激光束入射至测试样品60,并且测试样品60的导电薄膜中发生光电导效应之后,第二微波从分流器300通过循环器400入射到测试样品60。
在第二微波入射至测试样品60后,测试样品60将反射第二微波,接着循环器400接收通过测试样品60反射的第二微波,并接着将接收的第二微波输出至检测器500。
最后,检测器500可以检测并比对发生光电导反应前的测试样品60反射的第一微波与通过激光束发生光电导反应后的测试样品60所反射的第二微波之间的变化,从而取得非平衡载流子的复合寿命等信息。
本实施例可选的,测试装置可以还包括反馈调节模块,用以储存预定衰弱信息,并且反馈调节模块比对所储存的预定衰弱信息和来自检测器500的衰弱信息,并且根据比对结果调整脉冲激光发射器100产生不同于的第一激光束的第二激光束,而产生的第二激光束可以入射至测试样品60,使测试样品60产生不同程度的光电导反应。
以上内容是结合具体的优选实施方式对本申请所作的进一步详细说明,不能认定本申请的具体实施只局限于这些说明。对于本申请所属技术领域的普通技术人员来说,在不脱离本申请构思的前提下,还可以做出若干简单推演或替换,都应当视为属于本申请的保护范围。
