6.1 Flash Ccf-V: Flash memory cell Control Gate to Floating Gate capacitance
(A.01.11)
[Supported Analyzer]
B1500A
[Description]
Measures the Control Gate to Floating Gate capacitance (Ccf), and plots the Ccf-V characteristics.
For a more accurate measurement, perform correction data measurement at the measurement frequency before
starting the capacitance measurement.
If the measurement frequency is not included in the list of default frequencies below, click the Advanced
Options... button and set the measurement frequency on the Frequency area of the Advanced Options for CMU
Calibration window.
Default frequencies:
1 k, 2 k, 5 k, 10 k, 20 k, 50 k, 100 k, 200 k, 500 k, 1 M, 1.2 M, 1.5 M, 2 M, 2.5 M, 2.7 M, 3 M, 3.2 M, 3.5 M,
3.7 M, 4 M, 4.2 M, 4.5 M, 5 MHz
[Device Under Test]
Flash memory cell
