Lesson 2 - Capacitance Measurement Methods

Defines capacitance measurement methods and the different types of capacitance meters. The best method for measuring capacitance will depend on the specific application.

Lesson 3 - Quasi-Static Capacitance Measurement

Explains quasi-static capacitance measurement and why quasi-static measurement is important. It's important to understand that it's a device response and accuracy depends on the characteristics of the measurement process.

Lesson 4 - High-Frequency Capacitance Measurement

Provides a focused explanation of High-Frequency Capacitance Measurement.

Lesson 5 - Components Required to Create a Total CV-IV Measurement Solution

Shares the components necessary to create a total CV-IV measurement solution. Ideally, the goal is to be able to do a complete CV and IV on a single instrument or set-up.

Lesson 6 - Summary and Additional Resources

Summarizes how essential capacitance measurement is for device parametric characterization and offers additional resources for more information.

The Parametric Measurement

The question as to what constitutes parametric testing is an interesting one and is possibly open to some debate. In general, parametric testing involves the electrical testing and characterization of four main types of semiconductor devices: resistors, diodes, transistors, and capacitors. This App Note enables engineers and researchers to make accurate parametric measurements on low and high power devices both now and for many years into the future.
