Microwave Detected Photoconductivity (MDP)

Topographic visualisation of electrically active defects or materiel properties at almost any production stage, allows for process optimization and performance prediction of devices.

MDP is a contact less, non destructive measurement technology for the electrical characterization of a large variety of semiconductors. The mapping and visualization of so far not detectable defects was achieved by improving the sensitivity of a microwave detection system by several orders of magnitude. Electrical properties such as lifetime, τ, mobility, μ, and diffusion length, L, can be measured also at very low injection levels with a spatial resolution limited only by the diffusion length of the charge carriers.

The user manual, the APV and contact information can be found in LabManager:
