10 PwrDevice
10.7 Vth Const Id[3] PwrDevice: Constant current Vth (A.01.20)
[Supported Analyzer]
B1500A
[Description]
Measures the drain current vs gate voltage characteristics, and extracts the threshold voltage (Vth) by using the
constant current method.
[Device Under Test]
Power MOSFET, 3 terminals
[Device Parameters]
Polarity: Nch (SMUs force the specified value) or Pch (SMUs force the negative specified value).
Lg: Gate length
Wg: Gate width
Temp: Temperature
IdMax: Drain current compliance
[Test Parameters]
IntegTime: Integration time
Id@Vth: Drain current to decide the Vth
Gate: SMU connected to Gate terminal, primary sweep voltage output
VgStart: Sweep start voltage for Gate terminal
VgStop: Sweep stop voltage for Gate terminal
VgStep: Sweep step voltage for Gate terminal
Drain: SMU connected to Drain terminal, constant voltage output
Vd: Drain voltage
Source: SMU connected to Source terminal, constant voltage output
BaseOffsetV: Base offset voltage
Base offset voltage is added to the specified voltage. For example, the gate start voltage will be
BaseOffsetV.
[Extended Test Parameters]
Vs: Source voltage
