MicOS for mapping semiconductor wafers

of the material is often obtained by measuring point PL on the bulk material, but geometrical accuracy of the device requires mapping PL over the entire de- vice—or at least a region of interest on the device. Fig. 1 shows a typical PL emission near-IR spectrum of a III-V semiconductor measured at a point on a wafer, using the HORIBA MicOS PL wafer-mapper (Fig. 2). The versatile HORIBA MicOS PL wafer-mapper micro-PL system includes a vision camera so the user always sees the region of the wafer under excitation, useful when the wafer has patterned structures. The MicOS head is directly coupled to a triple-grating spectrometer, ensuring the highest throughput and wide spectral coverage (200–1600 nm). The MicOS can also use different excitation-laser wavelengths, and includes an
