ULTRABROADBAND PHOTOCONDUCTION METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DEFECT DENSITY OF STATES MICROSCOPY IN SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES
Described is an apparatus and ultrabroadband photoconduction microscopy method for measuring full sub-bandgap density of defect states in semiconductor transistors and devices. The apparatus comprises tunable laser coupled to a reflective-optic-based microscope using all-reflective optical laser to spectrally and spatially illuminate near the diffraction-limit. The method developed measures the photoconduction signal in semiconductor devices at stepwise incident energies that roughly span the full bandgap from the valence band to the conduction band edge regions. The resulting photoconduction spectrum is directly proportional to the integrated trap density by an analytically extracted scaling factor. Finally, the end-product is a complete sub-gap density of states for a semiconductor device. As the sub-gap trap density drops exponentially when the laser wavelength increases, specialized signal retrieval methods, including lock-in amplifier detection of optically modulated lasers, power normalization, and threshold voltage monitoring, are required to achieve the signal-to-noise and accuracy needed.

The present disclosure provides a method for preparing a supported metal alloy catalyst for low temperature engine exhaust oxidation without CO or NO inhibition. The catalyst includes bimetallic PdCu alloy deposited on a SiO2 support using the strong electrostatic adsorption method.
