50 3. Ir<strong>radiation</strong> FacilityFigure 3.12: A comparison <strong>of</strong> a 1/C 2 vs. voltage characteristics as obta<strong>in</strong>ed by a a) paralleland b) serial RC model. Straight l<strong>in</strong>e ts to the slope at large depletion depths and to theplateau at full depletion are also shown. The <strong>in</strong>tersection <strong>of</strong> the l<strong>in</strong>es was used to determ<strong>in</strong>e thefull depletion voltage.A comparison <strong>of</strong> results obta<strong>in</strong>ed by both models is shown <strong>in</strong> gure 3.12. As expected,at low depletion voltages better results are obta<strong>in</strong>ed with the serial model whileresults at <strong>high</strong> depletion depths are similar. It can however be noticed that the serialmodel gives a larger error <strong>of</strong> the value at the plateau <strong>for</strong> the lowest frequency (1 kHz). Inthat case parallel resistance is no longer negligible compared to capacitor impedance 1!C ,lead<strong>in</strong>g to a larger error <strong>for</strong> the serial model. Full depletion voltages as obta<strong>in</strong>ed by bothmodels agree with<strong>in</strong> the errors.The eect <strong>of</strong> the decoupl<strong>in</strong>g capacitors and resistors was taken <strong>in</strong>to account bycalibration. HP4284A enables frequency dependent calibration <strong>in</strong> a large frequency rangewhile HP4263B can only be calibrated at one frequency, 10 kHz <strong>in</strong> our case. Calibrationis done at open and closed circuit and with known load 28 .The measurement <strong>of</strong> the C/V characteristic was run by a custom written LabViewprogram, runn<strong>in</strong>g on a PC. Bias voltage (DC) was raised <strong>in</strong> predened steps and samplecapacitance was measured at each step with dierent frequencies <strong>of</strong> measur<strong>in</strong>g (AC) voltage.Leakage current and sample temperature were also measured at each step. Measuredcapacitance was converted to 1/C 2 and plotted <strong>in</strong> dependence <strong>of</strong> the bias voltage.28A capacitor <strong>of</strong> 44 pF was used s<strong>in</strong>ce this is an approximate capacitance <strong>of</strong> fully depleted 300 mthick diodes with an area <strong>of</strong> 1 cm 2 , used <strong>in</strong> this study.
