• Problem when Measure I-V curve with 4200, triax-cable

    Hi everyone,

    I’m Senior of Department of Electronics and Display engineering, Hoseo university.

    I’m measuring the I-V curve of TFT fabricated by our fab, using 4200A-SCS.

    The leakege current of TFT when TFT turns off doesn’t lower than 0.xxpA. It seems like limited by SMU’s.

    I have two SMUs.
    SMU1 is connected with PA.
    SMU2 is connected with nothing.

    In the manual, using PA give more measurement resolution if i undersatnd well.

    I tested n-channel MOSFET(VNO104) and TFT for find the limit.
    There are graphs.

    Gate : SMU1(PA FORCE) or SMU2(FORCE)
    Drain : SMU2(FORCE) or SMU1(PA FORCE)
    Source : GND unit(FORCE)

    If i use SMU1 to measure Ids, it can measure almost fA but that looks very strange. Like stairs.

    If i use SMU2, it is higer than SMU1.
    But the graph is linear and fine to see.

    I’m looking for find the solution for this problem.
    How can i solve this?



    Thank you
