Using A Switch Matrix - Keithley 4200-SCS User Manual

Section 3: Common Device Characterization Tests
Disturbed cell testing – The outputs for the PG2s are turned off and their output
relays are opened. SMU1 and SMU2 are then used to perform a DC Vg-Vd sweep
on Cell 1 to determine V

Using a switch matrix

A limitation of the no-switch, direct connect test configuration shown in
3-91 is that only three devices can be measured. The test would have to be
manually reconfigured or re-cabled to test other devices.
Without a switch matrix, the number of adjacent cells that can be measured is
limited. Therefore, it is recommended that a switch matrix be used for disturb
testing, as shown in
Using a switch matrix allows the flexibility of routing pulse and DC signals without
having to make connection changes. Also, this type of structure uses a multi-pin
probe card, which provides an additional opportunity for mapping test resources
to DUT pins. For example, a SMU can be shared across multiple device terminals
where the required voltage is the same.
