Abstract

Means and method including a novel waveguide sample holder for applying traveling microwaves to heat thin low-resistivity semiconductor ribbons and wafers without a susceptor. Traveling microwaves are applied to the semiconductor materials, both with and without a traveling wave resonator. Efficient coupling is obtained by unique placement of the samples in the waveguide.
