Abstract

See full text

A method may include illuminating a first area of a semiconductor utilizing a light source. The method may also include measuring at least one characteristic of electrical energy transmission utilizing a probe for placing at least one of at or near the illuminated first area of the semiconductor. The method may further include varying the measured at least one characteristic of the electrical energy transmission generated by the light from the light source incident upon the semiconductor while maintaining an intensity of the light source. Further, the method may include determining a sheet resistance for the junction of the semiconductor utilizing the varied at least one characteristic of the electrical energy transmission.
