  • Abstract
    A simple method is described for the determination of minority carrier lifetime from the large-signal response time of an MOS capacitor in deep inversion. The method consists of monitoring the change of MOS capacitance as a function of time. A graph is presented to expedite easy extraction of lifetime from the transient waveform.
