Abstract
We demonstrated a near-infrared transmittance setup for EL2 concentration mapping in undoped semi-insulating (SI) GaAs wafers. The light source was a power-stabilized laser diode (λ = 1.3 μm) operating in the light emitting diode (LED) mode. The sensitivity of the apparatus was as low as 1014 cm-3 for typical commercial wafers 350 μm in thickness.
