NOTICE: This Document was reapproved with minor editorial changes.

The purpose of this Document is to specify a method to measure the carrier concentration and carrier concentration vs. depth profile of epitaxial layers by electrochemical capacitance voltage (ECV) profiling.

This Test Method covers a procedure for measuring the carrier concentration of epitaxial layers by ECV profiling. This method focuses on improving the accuracy and repeatability of the measurement by standardizing the test conditions and reporting and by routine calibration of the measurement.

This Test Method is intended to cover the majority of routine samples measured. However, because of the number of different materials encountered it cannot cover every contingency.
