摘要: Using a Gaussian approximation for the depth distribution of energy dissipation function electron bombardment, beam induced barrier current (BC) is determined as position on surface perpendicular to barrier. Comparison theory and experiment dependence BC provided values diffusion length recombination velocity excess carriers. The experiments are performed in wide range lengths dopand concentration Si GaP primary energies electrons between 10 30 keV. parameters estimated compared with taken from literature.
