Abstract
Both the intrinsic defect structure in semiconducting materials and the technological steps during microcircuit manufacturing (e.g. implantation, rapid thermal processing) affect the diffusion process of dopants. Using the electron-beam-induced current (EBIC) technique it is possible to determine in an experimental way the site of the space charge region and of the electrical p-n junction, respectively.
