Abstract
Contamination of silicon wafers by transition metals is known to degrade device performance sharply. Transition metal contamination can arise from several sources. Here, we present a fast method to detect contamination consisting of the combination of rapid thermal annealing which is known to activate metallic impurities and diffusion length measurements by the surface photovoltage technique which needs no permanent contacts.
