摘 要:Advances in modern semiconductor integrated circuits have always demanded faster and more sensitive analytical methods on a large-scale *** surface of wafers is fundamentally essential to start building circuits,and quantitative measures of the surface potential,defects,contamination,passivation quality,and uniformity are subject to *** present study provides a new approach to access those by means of terahertz(THz)emission *** femtosecond laser illumination,THz radiation,which is sensitive to the surface electric fields of the wafer,is ***,we systematically research the THz emission properties of silicon surfaces under different surface conditions,such as the initial surface with a native oxide layer,a fluorine-terminated surface,and a hydrogenterminated ***,a strong doping concentration dependence of the THz emission amplitude from the silicon surface has been revealed in different surface conditions,which implies a semiquantitative connection between the THz emission and the surface band bending with the surface ***-induced THz emission spectroscopy is a promising method for evaluating local surface properties on a wafer scale.
