We report characterization of Si p-n junction arrays using simultaneous conductance imaging and constant current mode (topographical) scanning tunneling microscopy imaging over a range of reverse bias conditions. Both constant current and conductance imaging of the electrically different regions (n, p, and inverted region) show a pronounced dependence on applied p-n junction bias. Tunneling spectra measured across the p-n junction show that the conductance contrast agrees well with the expected variation due to tip-induced band bending. Taken in combination with the topographical image, conductance images can be used to characterize spatial variations of carrier densities across the device. (C) 2002 American Institute of Physics.
