In this setup, you can connect either the CVL1 (LPOT and LCUR) or CVH1 (HPOT and HCUR) to the AC Input
of the 4205-RBT. By default, the AC ammeter is connected to the CVL1.
To make C-V measurements with a voltage differential up to 400 V, two 4205-RBTs and two 4200-SMUs or
4210-SMUs are required, in addition to the 4210-CVU (see next figure). In this configuration, you connect
4200-SMU 1 and the CVL1 (LPOT and LCUR) terminals of the 4210-CVU through one 4205-RBT to one side of
the device. Connect the other side of the device through a second 4205-RBT, to both the 4200-SMU 2 and the
CVH1 (HPOT and HCUR) terminals of the 4210-CVU. This setup allows 400 V differential measurements, for
example, 0 to 400 V, –100 to 300 V, or –400 V to 0 V.
Control high voltage measurements using software
The
hivcvulib
user library contains two modules,
SweepV
and
CvsT
, that allow you to make high voltage
C-V measurements. If one 4205-RBT is used, the
SweepV
module allows you to sweep a DC voltage across
the DUT using the 4200-SMU or 4210-SMU and measure the capacitance using the 4210-CVU. If two
4205-RBTs are used with the
SweepV
module, one SMU is used to sweep the DC voltage and the other SMU
is used to apply an offset DC bias (as shown in the previous figure).
The
CvsT
module provides capacitance measurements as a function of time at a user-specified DC bias. You
can also use this module with either one or two 4205-RBTs. With one 4205-RBT and one SMU, capacitance
measurements can be made with up to 200 V DC bias. With two 4205-RBTs and two SMUs, capacitance
measurements can be made up to 400 V DC bias.
You can open the
SweepV
and
CvsT
modules in a project using a user test module (UTM). These modules are
also preconfigured in a project. On the 4200A-SCS, the project is the
High Voltage C-V Tests Project
(cvu-highv)
. On the 4200-SCS, the project is
CVU_highV
.
