A condition to stop the sampling can
be defined.
Sampling interval setting accuracy
(supplemental data):
0.5% + 10µs (sampling interval £480µs)
0.5% + 10µs (480µs £sampling
interval <2ms)
0.5% + 100µs (2ms £sampling interval)
C-V Measurement
Characteristics
Capacitance is a calculated value
derived from the following equation:
DQ
C =
DV
DQ is the change in charge when DV,
the step voltage, is applied by the SMU;
DQ is derived from the measurement
current (amps) and the integration time
(seconds).
Maximum Measurable Value
Maximum measurable value depends
on thecurrent range, integration time,
and step voltage (refer to the chart in
supplemental data).
Capacitance Calculation Accuracy
Accuracy is dependent on accuracy of
the current measurement and voltage
measurement and the stray capacitance
and leakage current of measurement
path, etc. (Refer to the chart in supple-
mental data).
Zero Offset
Cancels stray capacitance of the
fixtures and test leads.
Leakage Current Compensation
Cancels the influence of the leakage
current to the capacitance measurement.
Stress Force Characteristics
SMU, VSU, and PGU output can be
forced for the user specified period.
Stress time set range: 500µs to
31,536,000s (365 days)
Resolution:
100µs (500µs £stress time £10s)
10ms (10s <stress time £31,536,000s)
Burst pulse count: 1 - 65,535 (PGU only)
Trigger: The 4155C and 4156C output a
gate trigger while stress channels are
forcing stress.
Knob Sweep
In knob sweep mode, sweep range is
controlled instantaneously with the
front-panel rotary knob. Only the
Channel Definition page need be defined.
Standby Mode
SMUs in “Standby” remain programmed
to their specified output value even
as other units are reset for the next
measurement.
Other Characteristics
Measurement Control: Single, append,
repeat, and stop
Stress Control: Stress force and stop
SMU Setting Capabilities: Limited auto-
ranging, voltage/current compliance,
power compliance, automatic sweep
abort functions, self-test, and self-
calibration.
Arithmetic and Analysis
Functions
Arithmetic Functions
User Functions
Up to six USER FUNCTIONS can be
defined using arithmetic expressions.
Measured data and analyzed variables
from graphics analysis (marker, cursor,
and line data) can be used in the
computation. The results can be
displayed on the LCD.
Arithmetic Operators
+, -, *, /, ^, LGT (logarithm, base 10),
LOG (logarithm, base e), EXP
(exponent), DELTA, DIFF (differential),
INTEG (integration), MAVG (moving
average), SQRT, ABS (absolute value),
MAX, MIN, AVG (averaging), COND
(conditional evaluation).
Physical Constants
Keyboard constants are stored in
memory as follows:
q:Electron Charge, 1.602177 E-19 C
k:Boltzman’s Constant, 1.380658 E-23
e (e): Dielectric Constant of Vacuum,
8.854188 E-12
Engineering Units
The following unit symbols are also
available on the keyboard: f (10
-15
),
p (10
-12
), n (10
-9
), u or m (10
-6
),
m (10
-3
), K (10
3
), M (10

), G (10

)
Analysis Capabilities
Overlay Graph Comparison
A graphics plot can be stored and later
recalled as an overlay plane. Four over-
lay planes can be stored. One plane can
be overlaid onto the current data.
Marker
Marker to min/max, interpolation,
direct marker, and marker slip
Cursor
Long and short, direct cursor.
Line
Two lines, normal mode, grad mode,
tangent mode, and regression mode.
Scaling
Auto scale and zoom.
Data Variable Display
Up to two user defined parameters can
be displayed on the graphics screen.
Read Out Function
The read out functions are built-in
functions for reading various values
related to the marker, cursor, or line.
Automatic Analysis Function
On a graphics plot, the markers and
lines can be automatically located using
the auto analysis setup. Parameters can
be automatically determined using
automatic analysis, user function, and
read out functions.
User Variable
Display the data on the LCD via GPIB
or instrument BASIC.
Output
Display
Display Modes
Graphics and list.
Graphics Display
X-Y or X-Y1/Y2 plot of source current/
voltage, measured current/voltage, time,
or calculated USER FUNCTION data.
List Display
Measurement data and calculated
USER FUNCTION data are listed in
conjunction with VAR1 step number or
time domain sampling step number. Up
to eight data sets can be displayed.
Display
8.4-inch diagonal color active matrix
LCD, 640 dot (H) ´ 480 dot (V). More
than 99.99% of the pixels on an LCD
are active.
Hard Copy Functions
Graphics Hard Copy
Measured data and all data appearing
on the LCD can be output via GPIB,
parallel printer port, or network
interface to supported HP plotters or
printers. PCL, HR PCL (high-resolution
PCL), and HP-GL formats are sup-
ported (selectable).
Text Hard Copy
Print out setup information or mea-
sured data list as ASCII text via GPIB,
parallel printer port, or network
interface to supported HP plotters or
printers. PCL, HR PCL, and HP GL
formats are supported (selectable).
Hard Copy File
Hard copy output can be stored to an
internal or external mass storage
device instead of sending it to a printer
or plotter. The data can be stored in
PCL, HR PCL, TIFF, HR TIFF (high-
resolution TIFF), or HP GL formats.
Hard Copy via Network Interface
The network interface has lpr client
capability.
High-Resolution (HR) Mode
This file mode is available for cases
where an extremely clean print-out or
plot is desired.
Note: High-resolution mode takes significantly
greater CPU time to generate, so its use is
recommended for final reports only.
