Abstract

The measurement of electrical conductivity of silicon wafers was described using a millimeter wave compact equipment. The principle of the technique is based on the interaction of the millimeter waves with silicon wafers. The continuous millimeter wave signal having a fixed frequency of 94 GHz was applied to the silicon wafer through a horn antenna. After interacting with the wafer, the reflected signal was received by the same antennas. The results show that the proposed technique is a powerful tool for the measurement of the silicon wafers in a contactless fashion and independent of the thickness.
