    Abstract

    In this work the RF charge pump technique is presented. It is shown that this technique can rovide charge pump data of devices that have a leakage current too high for classical charge pump measurements. The methodology of accurately performing RF charge pump measurements is discussed and measurement results on devices with both a very high leakage current and moderate leakage current are shown. Charge pump data obtained at frequencies of up to 2 GHz are shown. It is verified that the RF charge pump data can indeed be used for extracting the interface state density and it is also investigated how this extraction can be performed accurately.
