Model 4284A or 4980A test example
The following test example for the Model 4284A or 4980A LCR Meter is controlled by the
ivcvswitch
project with an added user test module (UTM) created from a user module from the
HP4284ulib
user library. A switch matrix is not used for this example.
C-V sweep
This example assumes that the Model 4284A or 4980A is already connected directly to the device
under test (DUT). The DUT can be a device installed in a test fixture or a MOS capacitor on a wafer.
Complete the following steps to do a C-V sweep.
Set up the project:
1. From the Project Library, select the
ivcvswitch
project.
2. Select
Create
.
3. At the bottom of the project tree, add another
capacitor
from the Device Library.
4. From the Test Library, select
Custom Test
,
Choose a test from the pre-programmed library
(UTM)
.
5. Drag
Custom Test
to the project tree under the capacitor. The test has a red triangle next to it to
indicate that it is not configured.
6. Select
Rename
.
7. Enter
hpcvsweep
and press
Enter
.
8. Select
Configure
.
9. In the Test Settings pane, select the user library
HP4284ulib
.
10. Select the user module
CvSweep4284
.
11. On the Configure pane, you can modify the test parameters as needed. With the settings shown
in the figure below, the Model 4284A or 4980A does a +3 V to
−
4 V staircase sweep using 50 mV
steps. A measurement is made on each step of the sweep. For details on the test description, see
(on page C-9).
12. Select
Run
to execute the test.
