I-V curve tracer FAQs

What is I-V curve tracing?

I-V curve tracing is the process of analyzing current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of semiconductor devices for failure analysis and parametric characterization.

What does a curve tracer do?

A curve tracer is an electronic test device used to perform I-V curve tracing and analyze the characteristics of semiconductor devices such as diodes, transistors, and thyristors. Though curve tracers aren’t generally sold today, engineers can use I-V curve tracer software and other instruments on their bench to run the same tests as a curve tracer.

How does an I-V curve tracer work?

I-V curve tracers or I-V curve tracer configurations operate by varying a parameter, then measuring a separate parameter to produce data for analysis.
