Abstract
We review the application of scanning optical microscopy to bulk microdefect detection in semiconductor materials. After an extensive literature review we summarize theoretical aspects of the scanning infra-red microscope and describe the theory of contrast formation. We also show experimental examples of scanning infra-red images taken by different modes of the microscope and give an experimental confirmation of the contrast theory.
