Abstract
A new and simple method that employs MIS tunnel diodes is described here for the determination of minority carrier lifetime in semiconductors. For large reverse bias, a direct current was measured across Si–SiO2-metal devices with oxide thickness between 40 and 60 Å. This current is the generation current in the semiconductor space-charge layer, and the lifetime is easily obtained from it.
