Abstract

In this paper the possibility for photoacoustic determination for semiconductor ambipolar transport parameters is shown. Semiconductor surface temperature variations are calculated for the case of d.c. electric field applied parallel to the sample surface. At sufficiently high modulation frequencies of the excitation light beam the photoacoustic signal amplitude exhibits a linear dependence on square of applied field intensity, with proportionality constant depending on excess carrier ambipolar mobility and recombination lifetime. The method for determination of semiconductor transport parameters from this linear slope is discussed.
