Abstract

Rapid imaging of the carrier density of n-type silicon (Si) was carried out at the rate of 2 s per point using a terahertz wave of 4.4 THz generated from a tun able terahertz source. Reflectance of 4.4 THz as a function of carrier density was calculated using a simple Drude model. The carrier densities obtained from the terahertz imaging were 1 × 1018 cm-3 and 3 × 1018 cm-3, respectively.
