The capacitance of a classical conductor is determined solely by its geometry. When charged, the electrons distribute in space in a manner that minimizes their electrostatic energy. Quantum mechanics ...

Over the past decade, demand for nano-electrical characterization has rapidly increased due to the continuous miniaturization of electronic devices. The semiconductor and microelectronics industries ...

In back-end semiconductor processing it is important to improve the performance of semiconductors due to the limitations of miniaturization in front-end processes. To achieve this goal, the industry ...

Capacitive sensors are found in a wide range of equipment, from consumer electronics to industrial/process control. Touch buttons are increasingly found in lamps and dimmers. Motion detectors can ...

An optimal way to determine an op amp's input capacitance. Steps involved in making the input-capacitance measurement. 1. With a series resistor at the op-amp input, the input capacitance of the op ...

Abstract: In this paper, a capacitance measurement circuit based on an active bridge and relaxation oscillator has been developed to accurately measure capacitance in the picofarad range. The change ...

Electrical capacitance, a fundamental property of objects, reveals insights into their ability to store electrical energy in an electric field. This characteristic is intricately linked to several ...

Abstract: In this paper, we propose a calibration-free mismatch-immune quadrature-clocked voltage-dependent capacitance measurement (CFMI-QVCM) method. It is specially applied to extract and separate ...
