Details
For a PNP transistor, this subroutine measures the base-emitter voltage at a specified emitter current
with the base and collector terminals tied to ground.
For an NPN transistor, this subroutine measures the emitter-base voltage at a specified base current
with the emitter and collector terminals tied to ground.
If a positive substrate pin is specified, the substrate is grounded. If a positive substrate pin is not
specified, the substrate is left floating.
A delay is incorporated into the vbes subroutine; this delay is calculated time required for stable
forcing of ipgm with a 3 V voltage limit.
V/I polarities
The polarity of ipgm is determined by device type.
Source-measure units (SMUs)
SMU1: Forces ipgm, 3 V voltage limit, measures vbes
