Deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS)
Basic instruments:
PhysTech Fourier Transform DLTS equipped with liquid He/liquid N2 crystats (4-600K) and Leybold temperature controller.
Agilent fast pulse generator (pulse length >1 ns) for fast electrical filling pulses.
Laser diodes (900 nm and 1500 nm) for optical filling pulses.
Measurement modes:
DLTS: classical capacitance DLTS using electrical pulse
CC-DLTS: constant capacitance DLTS
ODLTS: capacitance DLTS using optical pulse
CDLTS: current DLTS using optical or electrical pulse
QDLTS: charge DLTS
