Resistor tests

The following tests use two SMUs. It is also possible to use one SMU and the GNDU.

Calculates the average resistance from an I-V sweep of sourcing voltage and measuring

current. This test uses two SMUs on either side of the resistor. You can also use one

SMU and GNDU if set properly in the Configure pane.

The resistor is connected between one channel of the PMU and the PMU ground.

Applies a pulse voltage sweep to the resistor during the test while the current is

While a forward-bias voltage sweep is applied to a diode, this test measures the anode

current and plots the data on a semi-log scale. A linear line fit is used to derive the slope

of the line.

Sweeps the reverse bias voltage and measures the resulting current of a diode. This test

uses two SMUs on either side of the diode. You can also use one SMU and GNDU if

they are set properly in the Configure pane. For very low current measurements, it is

recommended that you use a SMU with the preamp option.

Measures the junction capacitance as a function of an applied voltage sweep. The

depletion depth (W) and the doping density (N) are calculated as a function of the C-V

Applies a pulse voltage sweep to the anode of a diode and measures the resulting

anode current. A single channel of the PMU is used to make the measurement.

Charges a capacitor at a constant current and measures the voltage as a function of

Measures the capacitance as a function of time on a capacitor. The noise is calculated

using the standard deviation of the data.

Applies a single voltage pulse to a capacitor and measures the resulting current. A single

channel of the PMU is used to make the measurement. One end of the capacitor is

connected to PMU1 and the other end is connected to PMU GND.
