Function Details
C-V Sweep Measurement
Frequency List
AC signal frequency. 1 kHz to 5 MHz. Resolution: 6 digits.
F Name Variable name of frequency list.
AC Level AC signal level. 10 mV to 250 mV, 1 mV resolution.
Mode, Fa
ctor One of th
e following is used for setting the measurement
time.
For Mode=AUTO,
you set the number of samples used for
averaging of the measurement data. The initial value is the
predefined constant, and you set the multiple number to
Factor. Available Factor values are 1 to 1023, integer.
For Mode=PLC, you
set the integration time of the A/D
converter. The initial value is 1 power line cycle (20 ms for
50 Hz, 16.7 ms for 60 Hz), and you set the multiple number
to Factor. Available Factor values are 1 to 100, integer.
Hold Hold time. The 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 DC bias
output va
lue. 0 to 65.535 s with 100 μs resolution.
NOTE For a more accurate measurement, perform correction data measurement at the
measurement frequency before starting the capacitance measurement.
If the measurement frequency is not included in the list of default frequencies below,
click the Advanced Options... button and set the measurement frequency on the
Frequency area of the Advanced Options for CMU Calibration window.
Default frequencies:
1 k, 2 k, 5 k, 10 k, 20 k, 50 k, 100 k, 200 k, 500 k, 1 M, 1.2 M, 1.5 M, 2 M, 2.5 M,
2.7 M, 3 M, 3.2 M, 3.5 M, 3.7 M, 4 M, 4.2 M, 4.5 M, 5 MHz
