Figure 3. Orientation of the substrate
When the substrate is placed in the holder, each device is probed by a pair of
Drain
and
Source
probes
. If the device is switched on, the
Drain probe
connects the Drain of the device to the High
output of the DRAIN SMU, while the Source is connected to the DRAIN SMU ground. If a particular
Gate is switched on, the corresponding
Gate probe
connects it to the signal generated by the GATE
SMU. Figure 4 shows which column of POGOS are Drain or Source probes.
Figure 4. Location of Signal and Source Drain probes for Dev 16. The first column (on the left)
therefore acts as the Source (ground), while the second is used to apply the desired voltage (Drain)
to the transistors. This pattern (alternate Source and Drain columns) repeats itself for the
successive six columns.
Place the substrate so that the Gate
pads are in the row nearest the front
