摘要: Five semiconductor-related parameters have been extracted simultaneously from experimental cathodoluminescence output data collected as a function of electron-beam energy. The extraction technique is based on recently proposed three-dimensional computer model cathodoluminescence. It also uses curve fitting the minimization an area error criterion. Computational results show that unique and unambiguous set parameter values can be obtained for each points using algorithm suggested. >
