Abstract
Hand probing is the most common technique being applied in Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) measurement. It is a simple and easy method, but it produced instability on overall signal. Therefore, a new test fixture is designed to maximize its reproducibility. Repeatability test will be used to show its effectiveness on Power MOSFET. In addition, with the test fixture, the standard deviation for impedance results was σ=0.12 based on the same part for eight times measurement, compare to σ=3.26 with hand probing. Therefore a significant improvement on the repeatability test was clearly demonstrated.
