Abstract

In this paper, we proposed measurement error reduction technique for the semiconductor device DC characteristic measurement system. Implemented system is composed of 4 SMUs, 2 VSUs, and 2 VMUs. Various efforts in hardware and software have been made to reduce the measurement errors due to the leakage current in measurement circuits. Internal and external sources of errors in measurement system especially in pA range measurement have been identified and removed. Experimental results show that the implemented system can be measure the DC characteristic of semiconductor devices in pA level.
