In order to massively test new cells and enhance conventional instrumentation flexibility, an accurate on-chip pulse generator, which is able to provide pulses with different amplitude, falling time, and duration, has been designed, fabricated, and experimentally evaluated. The designed device can generate pulses with amplitude, fall time, and time duration programmable from 0.5 V to 4.5 V, from 10 ns to several μs, and from 50 ns to 350 ns, respectively.","PeriodicalId":142589,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Conference on Microelectronic Test Structures (ICMTS)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129520495","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An alternative method where MOSFET resistance values are used instead of current values for the extraction procedure is also investigated in an attempt to increase extraction method robustness. Finally, it is shown how the three point extraction method can be applied not only to the triode region but also to the MOSFET saturation region for separating parameters for the body effect and the velocity saturation.","PeriodicalId":142589,"journal":{"name":"2013 IEEE International Conference on Microelectronic Test Structures (ICMTS)","volume":"85 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121512457","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
