Abstract

The electrochemical measuring technique of the present invention employs, as the barrier material, a concentrated electrolyte, which also forms a medium for the controlled dissolution of a surface of the semiconductor so as to provide a continuous depth profile. The depth profile characteristic may be determined by capacitance-voltage measurements on n-type bulk GaAs, using KOH as the electrolyte.
