2.24 QSCV[4]: C-Vg, Ig-Vg (4-terminal) (A.03.00)
[Supported Analyzer]
B1500A
[Description]
Measures the oxide film capacitance of a MOSFET by using the quasi-static CV method, and plots the C-V
characteristics.
To obtain the measurement data after the capacitance offset cancel, perform the QSCV C Offset Meas
application test before this test.
[Device Under Test]
MOSFET, 4 terminals
[Device Parameters]
Polarity: Nch (SMUs force the specified value) or Pch (SMUs force negative specified value)
Lg: Gate length
Wg: Gate width

[Test Parameters]
Source: SMU connected to Source terminal, constant voltage output
Drain: SMU connected to Drain terminal, constant voltage output
Gate: SMU connected to Gate terminal, primary sweep (QSCV) voltage output
Subs: SMU connected to Substrate terminal, constant voltage output
IMeasSMU: SMU to measure current and capacitance, connected to Gate terminal or Substrate terminal
Vstart: Sweep start voltage
Vstop: Sweep stop voltage
Vstep: Sweep step voltage
QSCVMeasV: QSCV measurement voltage
I_Comp: Current compliance
LeakCompen: Leakage current compensation on/off
MeasRange: Current measurement range used for the QSCV measurement, fixed range
Integ_C: Integration time for the capacitance measurement
Integ_L: Integration time for the leakage current measurement

IOffsetCancel: QSCV smart operation enable/disable
IOffsetSink: SMU to perform QSCV smart operation, connected to terminal which connected to IMeasSMU
QSCV smart operation is effective for QSCV measurements with a large leakage current. The SMU set as the
IOffsetSink performs the current force operation to minimize the measurement error caused by an offset current.
