I/V Sweep Measurement
The following setup is required to perform the basic sweep measurements.
1. Select the following on the Channel Setup tab screen.
• Select VAR1 for the Function of the SMU used for VAR1.
• Select V, VPULSE, or COMMON for the Mode of current monit
or SMU, or
I or IPULSE for voltage monitor SMU. Pulse is available only for one SMU.
2. Specify the following parameters for VAR1 on the Measurement Setup tab
screen.
Direction S
ingle or double sweep.
Linear/Log Linear or logarithmic sweep. For logarithmic sweep, the
number step
s in one decade is 10, 25, or 50.
Start Start value of sweep. Allowable range of start depends on
output range of sweep source. For logarithmic sweep, start
must not be zero.
Stop Stop value of single sweep or turning back value of double
sweep. Allowable rang
e of stop depends on output range of
sweep source. For logarithmic sweep, stop must have same
polarity as start, and must not be zero.
Step, No of Step
For linear sweep, step is st
ep increment of sweep. No of Step
is calculated from start, stop, and step.
For logarithmic sweep, step is in
valid. Number of sweep
steps is calculated from start, stop, and number of steps in
one decade.
Calculated number of steps must be in range: 1 to 1001.
Compliance Compliance value of sweep source. Allowable range of
complian
ce depends on the compliance range of sweep
source.
Pwr Comp (Optional) Power compliance value of sweep source.
Allowa
ble range depends on power compliance range of
sweep source.
Hold Time required for DUT to settle after forcing start value.
0 to 655.35 s with 10 ms resolution.
Delay Time required for DUT to settle after stepping the output.
0 to 65.535 s with 100 μs resolution
