7 In-line Electrical resistivity measurement Option eddy current µ Eddy current (non-contact) An AC current flows in a coil. The magnetic field of the coil induces circulating (eddy) currents in the sample. The eddy current measurement is actually the measurement of the electrical loss in the material, which depends on the resistivity. Four Point Probe (Contact) Measuring resistivity and sheet resistance according to SEMI MF and SEMI MF standards. Probe wear film damage. Wafer 7
8 In-line resistivity & mobility control. Optical method-ir reflection (non-contact) Hyperspectral camera Line light source Calculation processor Roll-to-roll material Computer Manufacturing equipment Additional opaque layers or other further processing
9 Off-line Electrical Characterization We need to go even deeper than mobility m = Velocity per unit electric field m*, effective mass Intrinsic Parameter Determined by Band/Crystal structure m qt m * t, relaxation time for carriers - Extrinsic Parameter Crystal defects Impurity scattering Grain size Grain barrier.

16 Conclusion The method of four coefficients is an ideal experimental technique for transparent conductive oxides (TCO) and other low mobility samples such as semiconductor or metal thin films but equally can be used for single crystal or epitaxial thin film semiconductors.
