Zusammenfassung:A statistical technique for input transistor characteristic extraction and transistor threshold voltage and current gain factor estimation for a CMOS IC is presented. The technique is based on the sequential approach to segmented curve estimation. The method enables IC customers to make their own assessment of instability mechanisms in CMOS ICs without using special test device structures.
