cvsweep-diode test
This test measures the PN junction capacitance as a function of the DC bias voltage while the
junction is reverse biased. The test makes a capacitance measurement at each step of a user-
configured linear voltage sweep. From the acquired C-V data, the test uses the Formulator to
calculate parameters.
