Abstract

A method of measuring the depletion layer width and electric field of a semiconductor junction or barrier with a particular impurity distribution profile in the semiconductor. With analog computation technique, a time-varying signal is used to simulate the impurity profile. Automatic generation of the constants of integration for the solution of Poisson's differential equation is achieved by adjusting pulse repetition rate or by iterative bisection method.
