Abstract

The effect of carrier recombination on the thermal response of pulsed photothermal beam deflection (PBD) signal in Si is analyzed theoretically and experimentally. This effect appears in the form of small depression in PBD - signal time dependence at a depths closer to the thermal diffusion length. The carrier lifetime value is found to be evaluated from this depression time position.
