Abstract

The resolution of photocurrent measurements at field-effect capacitors as used in light-addressable potentiometric sensors (LAPS) and scanning photo-induced impedance microscopy (SPIM) has been investigated using silicon on sapphire (SOS) substrates illuminated at different wavelengths. Using a two-photon effect in silicon ( λ = 1250 nm) to generate the photocurrent, genuine submicrometer resolution has been demonstrated for LAPS and SPIM. Improved sensitivity for both LAPS and SPIM was obtained using a 6.7 nm thick gate oxide on SOS anodically grown in 0.1 M HCl.
