Semiconductor test matrix

 

Two important advantages of a matrix switching system are
the ability to connect a variety of instruments to the device or
devices under test, as well as the ability to connect any
instrument terminal to any device test node. The following
paragraphs discuss a typical semiconductor matrix test sys-
tem and how to use that system to perform a typical test:
common-source characteristic testing of a typical JFET.

 

3.3.1 System configuration

 

Figure 3-5 shows the configuration for a typical multi-
purpose semiconductor test matrix. Instruments in the
system perform the following functions.

 

Model 617 Electrometer/Source:

 

 Measures current, and

also could be used to measure voltages up to ±200VDC. The
DC voltage source can supply a maximum of ±100V at cur-
rents up to 2mA.

 

Model 230 Voltage Source:

 

 Sources DC voltages up to

±101V at a maximum current of 100mA.

 

Model 590 CV Analyzer:

 

 Adds CV sweep measurement

capability to the system.

 

Model 220 Current Source:

 

 Used to source currents up to a

maximum of 101mA with a maximum compliance voltage
of 105V.

 

Model 196 DMM:

 

 Measure DC voltages in the range of

100nV to 300V. The Model 196 could also be used to mea-
sure resistance in certain applications.

 

Device Under Test:

 

 A three-terminal picture for testing such

devices as bipolar transistors and FETs. Additional connec-
tions could easily be added to test more complex devices, as
required.
