What is capacitance versus voltage (CV)?

Capacitance versus voltage (CV) is an important measurement in parametric test. Only CV measurements can reveal several crucial process parameters. © Agilent Technologies, Inc. 2004 4 Semiconductor Capacitance Measurement: An Overview Page 4 Measurement Theory: MOS Device Operation

How is Capacitance measured?

The analysis of capacitance measurements is best understood by examining the way that resistors are measured. When a digital multi-meter measures a resistance, it uses a constant-current source of some known value, to generate a voltage across the resistor under test.

Can a voltmeter measure a capacitor?

The unknown capacitor is connected in series with a reference inductor and connected to a sinewave generator. The voltage across this resonance circuit is measured with an AC-voltmeter. The most voltmeters are not suited to measure very low or high frequencies. In most cases a peak detector can fulfill this task.

How do you measure a capacitor's resistance?

The obvious extension of the resistance measurement to capacitors is to stimulate the capacitor under test with an AC source. In high-performance LCR meters, one technique used is to find the value of a capacitor does just that.

Can a meter measure the value of a capacitor?

Meters that use an AC source, such as LCR meters, generally provide a DC bias option to measure the value under this condition. This analysis has shown there are a lot of properties to consider when measuring the value of a capacitor.

Which method is suitable for measuring electrolytic capacitors?

The second method describes a measurement that is suitable for measuring on larger capacities and can also determine the internal series resistance (ESR). This method is thus mainly suitable for measuring on electrolytic capacitors. Figure 8 shows the mathematical model with the associated vector diagram in figure 9.
