Charge trapping procedure
1. Perform cable correction (open and through, if necessary), with calibration substrate. Open
and through correction measurements are taken and inputted into correction algorithm to
calculate cable losses.
2. Connect DUT (transistor) as shown in Figure 3-125 and Figure 3-126.
3. Input test parameters, refer to key parameters contained in Table 3-32.
4. The UTM will pulse the gate with single pulse (for average >1 use a series of very low duty
cycle pulses), bias drain with a PG2, capture drain current response on oscilloscope, then
calculate corresponding drain current (Vgs-Id) from the whole waveform.
5. To ensure a determinate number of pulses are applied to the DUT, the period must be set to
>10 ms. Wider pulse widths require a longer period. If the period is too short, pulses will not
be measured and will cause the UTM to hang, requiring KITE to be manually halted.
