Carrier-Wave Radiometry
Diffusion Wave Technologies currently holds two PTR patents in North America – two more (USA and PCT) pending – for its state-of-the-art photo-carrier radiometry (PCR) technology. PCR is the underlying fundamental technology behind our semiconductor metrology products.
The superiority of our patented, non-contact, non-destructive PCR technology is based on simpler signal generation and detection principle and a higher sensitivity of infrared (blackbody) emissions to free carrier plasma densities than existing solutions in the market.

Energy emission processes include non radiative intra band and inter band decay accompanied by phonon emission, as well as direct band-to-band recombination radiative emissions of energy and band-to-defect/impurity-state recombination IR emissions of energy.
