Abstract

This invention relates to a method and apparatus for simulating a surface photo-voltage, more particularly with a photodiode on a process sized disk for calibrating surface photo-voltage measurement devices. The device for simulating a surface photo-voltage includes the photodiode, the disk, a resistor, and may further include an operational amplifier. The apparatus for simulating a surface photo-voltage of the current invention facilitates calibration of surface photo-voltage measurement devices by using a process sized disk to fit directly on a surface photo-voltage measurement chuck.
