Abstract

The noncontact and nondestructive optical determination of spatial distributions of free-charge-carriers in low-doped semiconductor homo- and heterojunctions addresses fundamental physical properties of device related structures. For low-density free-charge-carriers, particularly for hole densities with their intrinsically lower mobility parameters than electron densities, optical characterization is a challenge. The carrier density plasma frequencies are located at long wavelength equivalents within the terahertz spectral region.
