Abstract
Contactless mapping of the resistivity and contactless evaluation of the electron mobility of semi-insulating compound semiconductor substrates is achieved with the time-dependent capacitive measurement technique. High resolution images of state-of-the-art and exploratory substrates are presented, showing the absolute value and lateral variation of the resistivity in the range 10(exp 5) to 10(exp 12) ohmcm. The topograms exhibit characteristic macro- and mesoscopic variation patterns related to the growth procedure as well as structural inhomogeneities and defect concentration variations. Very satisfactory agreement between conventional Hall data and mobility data measured with the innovative technique is obtained.
