Abstract
In conventional Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy (DLTS) measurements, the analysis of the results is based upon the assumption of an exponential current or capacitance transient. We present experimental and computational results on a novel experimental method for determining when the assumption of exponentiality is not satisfied by the sample under study. The measurement may be performed without any changes in the conventional double-boxcar DLTS system.Keywords
