Function Details

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 monitor 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 Single or double sweep.

Linear/Log Linear or logarithmic sweep. For logarithmic sweep, the

number steps 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 range 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 step increment of sweep. No of Step

is calculated from start, stop, and step.

For logarithmic sweep, step is invalid. 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 10001.

Compliance Compliance value of sweep source. Allowable range of

compliance depends on the compliance range of sweep

source.

Pwr Comp (Optional) Power compliance value of sweep source.

Allowable range depends on power compliance range of

sweep source.

Hold Time required for DUT to settle after forcing start value.

to 655.35 s with 10 ms resolution.

Delay Time required for DUT to settle after stepping the output.

to 65.535 s with 100 s resolution.
