On the determination of the spatial distribution of deep centers in semiconducting thin films from capacitance transient spectroscopy

It is pointed out that a widely used simple formula may give rise to serious errors in profiling deep level concentrations from capacitance transient experiments. A correction formula is derived based on the space‐charge analysis.
