Like any other measurement technique, knowledge regarding the experimental uncertainty is crucial in order to distinguish significant differences between samples. However, until now, the uncertainty of the photoluminescence based measurements has not been comprehensively analysed. This paper presents a preliminary study of the uncertainty associated with photoluminescence based lifetime measurements. The uncertainty of both the excess carrier concentration and the effective carrier lifetime is expressed by the uncertainty of the input parameters, such as calibration constants, bulk dopant concentration, wafer thickness and front surface reflection. The paper illustrates the importance of accurate determination of the calibration constant Ai and bulk resistivity in order to reduce the measurement uncertainty. © 2012 IEEE. | Source Title: | Conference Record of the IEEE Photovoltaic Specialists Conference | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/128759 | ISBN: | 9781467300643 | ISSN: | 01608371 | DOI: | 10.1109/PVSC.2012.6317642 |
