Abstract
A steady-state method for determining the excess carrier lifetime using p-i-n diodes is presented. The carrier lifetime is obtained from the r.f. resistance of a forward-biased p-i-n diode measured at microwave frequencies. The carrier lifetime obtained with this method in diffused silicon p-i-n doides is compared with the carrier lifetime obtained from other usual methods of measurement.
