Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

You are tasked with characterizing a newly developed MOSFET. Describe step by step how you would use an SMU and curve tracer together, detailing the measurements needed and how you would analyze the results.

💡 Hint: Think through the practical execution and how each device contributes.

Challenge 2 Hard

Given a set of characteristic curves from a curve tracer, determine whether the MOSFET is operating in cutoff, triode, or saturation regions. Explain your reasoning based on the data shown.

💡 Hint: Connect the shape of curves with practical MOSFET operations.
