Abstract

The confocal resonator is a tool for quick, accurate, non-invasive and flexible surface impedance measurements. From the frequency dependence of surface impedance, the vertical conductivity/permittivity profiles have been determined for a variety of devices and device materials including implanted Si and GaAs wafers and superconductor-dielectric interfaces. The vertical spatial resolution can be as small as several nm and accuracy of the complex permittivity generally is better than 3%.
