Abstrakt: We use a combination of a scattering-type near-field infrared microscope with a free-electron laser as an intense, tunable radiation source to spatially and spectrally resolve buried doped layers in silicon. To this end, boron implanted stripes in silicon are raster scanned at different wavelengths in the range from 10 to 14 µm. An analysis based on a simple Drude model for the dielectric function of the sample yields quantitatively correct values for the concentration of the activated carriers. In a control experiment at the fixed wavelength of 10.6 µm, interferometric near-field signals are recorded. The phase information gained in this experiment is fully consistent with the carrier concentration obtained in the spectrally resolved experiments.
