WS/146: Fundamentals of Ultra-Fast I-V Device Characterization This on-line seminar explores the increasing importance of Ultra-Fast Current-Voltage (I-V) characterization across a broad spectrum of device and process technologies. Common applications include non-volatile memory devices (NVM) such as Flash and phase change memory, isothermal characterization on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) devices and compound semiconductors, and transient characteristics of new materials such as high-K dielectrics.

Fundamentals of Ultra-Fast I-V Device Characterization will cover a core description of the measurement hardware and setups, including cabling to a probe station. It will also discuss typical test setups and common error sources. Finally, some practical examples of device measurements will be given.

Target Audience
  • Students, researchers, and engineers doing characterization of materials, processes, and devices
  • Lab managers wanting to learn about this useful measurement technique
  • Engineers doing device and material reliability studies (WLR, ESD, latchup, etc.)
