Advanced Setup Window for C-V Sweep
Advanced Setup Window for C-V Sweep
This window is opened by clicking the Advanced button on the C-V Sweep
Measurement Setup screen, and is used to set the following functions of the
MFCMU.

This ar
ea defines the variables for the AC level data and the DC bias data monitored
by the MFCMU while the capacitance measurement is performed.

This
area sets the bias hold function used to keep the source output after
measurement. The source module applies the specified bias between a measurement
and the next measurement performed in the repeat measurement or quick test. See
“Bias Hold Function” on page 7-40.

SM
U/PG Selector)
This area sets the Agilent 16440A selector CH1/CH3 status (DEF
AULT or PGU
OPEN). To use this function, set the DEFAULT setting to Always SMU or Normally
PGU (AUX) by using the SMU/PG Selector tab screen on the Configuration window
before starting the SPGU output.
CH1 CH1 status, DEFAULT or PGU OPEN.
CH3 CH3 status, DEFAULT or PGU OPEN.
CH1 represents channel 1 on the first selector and CH3 re
presents channel 1 on the
second selector. See “SMU/PG Selector” on page 7-48 for details on the selector.
Agilent 16445A selector adapter is needed for connecting the 16440A.
