Method of measuring Fe concentration in p-type silicon wafer

A method of measuring an iron concentration in a p-type silicon wafer, based on a measurement that uses a surface photovoltage method (SPV), the method of measuring comprising:

• performing the measurement in a measurement mode in which the p-type silicon wafer is irradiated during a same period with a plurality of lights having mutually different wavelengths,
• wherein the measurement is performed under the following conditions:
• (i) a Time Between Readings is 35 ms or more and 120 ms or less and a Time Constant is 20 ms or more, or the Time Between Readings is 10 ms or more and less than 35 ms and the Time Constant is 100 ms or more, and
• (ii) a Number of Readings is 12 times or less,
• the Number of Readings being defined by a number of SPV signals acquired during one SPV measurement,
• the Time Constant being defined by a time period in which each of the number of SPV signals is acquired, and
• the Time Between Readings being defined by a time interval between points in time at which successive signals among the number of SPV signals are acquired.
