Current Voltage and Capacitance Voltage (IV and CV) measurements are critical in measurement of properties of electronic materials especially semiconductors. A semiconductor, testing device to accomplish IV and CV measurement supports a semiconductor wafer (14) and provides a probe (12) for contacting a surface on the wafer under control of an atomic Force Microscope or similar probing de/ ice for positioning the probe to a desired measurement point on the wafer surface. Detection of contact by the probe on the surface is accomplished and test voltage is supplied to the semiconductor wafer. A first circuit for measuring capacitance (204) sensed by the probe based on the test voltage and a complimentary circuit for measuring Fowler Nordheim current (202) sensed by the probe based on the test voltage are employed with the probe allowing the calculation of characteristics of the semiconductor wafer based on the measured capacitance and Fowler Nordheim current. |
