ABSTRACT:
Corona charge is applied to an oxide layer on a semiconductor wafer. Then ultraviolet light is used to erase a grid pattern of the corona charge. Opposite polarity corona charge is then applied to the layer, resulting in a grid of field-induced PN junctions. The surface photovoltage of the junctions is measured over time to provide a measure of the mobile charge in the oxide layer.
