Spectral Ellipsometry as a Method of Investigation of Influence of Rapid Thermal Processing of Silicon Wafers on their Optical Characteristics by V. A. Solodukha, U. A. Pilipenko, A. A. Omelchenko, D. V. Shestovski

“…In the area of the maximum absorption peak, corresponding to the energy of the electron exit from the silicon surface (4.34 eV) the refraction indicator of the high doped silicon becomes higher, than of the low doped silicon, which is determined by the high concentration of the vacant charge carriers on the silicon surface in this spectral range.It was established, that the spectral area 3.59–4.67 eV, corresponding to the work of the electrons, exiting the silicon surface, the most informative way shows the difference of the 3 optical parameters of silicon of the different orientation, and for evaluation of influence of the silicon doping level on its optical characteristics the most informative is the spectral range of 3.32–4.34 eV.…”
