ABSTRACT:
A system of measuring a state density in a semi-conductor element and a method using this system. The system measuring a state density in a semi-conductor element comprises a pulse generator and a control unit for controlling size and shape of the pulses, such as to be able to measure state densities in the band gap of the semi-conductor element.
