摘要
Pattern-recognition and knowledge-based techniques have been applied to help extract the maximum amount of information from C-V measurements. This has been implemented by integrating conventional, algorithmic instrument control software with an expert system shell to intelligently sequence tests to enhance conventional CV, GV, C-t, and QSCV measurements. This approach ensures that the measurement sequence is appropriately tailored to the particular characteristics of the MOS capacitor test structure under investigation.
