摘要
We describe a method to measure the gate capacitance and the gate current of transistors at any temperature and at any operating condition. Discrimination between the total input capacitance and transfer reverse capacitance (gate to drain capacitance) is also possible with high accuracy. With this data the optimization of the signal to noise ratio and power dissipation can be achieved in the design of the front-end electronics for nuclear applications. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science BN.
