Module 3
Low Current Measurement
A 3 second delay at the beginning of the measurement will be required. The SMU must initially step
from 0 to -5 V, a very large step. Fully guarded probes to within 2 mm of probe tip and fully guarded
chuck eliminated the need for delays at every measurement point. The only wait will be the initial 3
second hold time.
