  • Abstract
    All publications on the single contact electron beam induced current (SC-EBIC) technique so far have been concerned with the application of the technique. This paper seeks to examine the theory behind the technique and supports it with experimental observation. It will be shown that the technique can be used, not only on electron and ion beam machines, but also on any scanning equipment that is capable of generating electron-hole pairs within a semiconductor device, e.g., with the use of a fine laser beam
