Automated Curve Tracers: I-V Characterization of Semiconductor Devices

Automated Curve Tracers

Automated curve tracers are electronic test tools that closely resemble oscilloscopes. They work by changing one parameter and then measuring a different one to create data for analysis that relates to the properties of semiconductor devices like diodes, transistors, and thyristors. Time sampling, list sweep, and multichannel sweep functionality are available in curve tracers. They help in semiconductor device curve characterisation and semiconductor failure analysis.
