Abstract

See full text

A method of optically measuring the concentration of carriers in a doped region of a semiconductor wafer includes the step of selectively introducing conductivity modifiers into both the wafer and a test substrate simultaneously to form respectively the doped region in the wafer and a diffraction grating pattern in the substrate including periodically-spaced doped strips. The diffraction grating pattern is exposed to a beam of monochromatic light, and the intensity of one of the diffracted beams is measured, whereby the magnitude thereof is a measure of the carrier concentration in the doped region.
