Abstract

The frequency dispersion of capacitance–voltage characteristics and derived charge carrier concentration with application to the junction between an electrolyte and wide band-gap semiconductors are investigated. To expand the measurement frequency range, the precision LCR-meter Agilent E4980A was connected to the electrochemical cell ECVPro Nanometrics via a specially designed switch unit. The influence of series resistance and degree of dopant ionization on the frequency dispersion of CV-measured characteristics are discussed. It was shown that in wide band-gap semiconductors one can get both total and ionized dopant concentration, depending on the test frequency choice for capacitance measurements.
