Method for pre-treating epitaxial layer, method for evaluating epitaxial layer, and apparatus for evaluating epitaxial layer

摘要

A method for pre-treating an epitaxial layer performed before evaluation of the epitaxial layer by making the epitaxial layer contact with a metal electrode by a capacitance-voltage measurement, the method comprising; applying carbon-bearing compound to a surface of the epitaxial layer; subsequently irradiating ultraviolet light to the surface of the epitaxial layer; and thereby forming an oxide film on the surface of the epitaxial layer.
