We discuss an improved quantitative mobility spectrum analysis (i-QMSA) of magnetic-field-dependent Hall and resistivity data, which can determine multiple electron and hole densities and mobilities. A fully automated computer implementation of i-QMSA is applied to a variety of synthetic and real data sets. The results show that the new algorithm increases the information available from a given data set and is suitable for use as a standard tool in the characterization of semiconductor materials and devices.
