Hints, Tips and Solutions

Q. How can I re-measure a certain device in the middle of BSIM3_MG routine’s data collection without closing and re-opening the log file?

A. It is likely that there may be some contact problems or defected devices during the data collection. This problem can occur when the log file is open and some good device data has already been stored in the log file. Then it becomes a time consuming process to close the log file, deselect the good devices from the device strategy screen, append the log file and re-measure the device which created the problem.

In order to simplify this process, “Re_Measure Last Plot” feature was developed. The user can re-measure the device which didn’t have good data by pressing the “Re_Measure” button and selecting the “Last plot” Menu option in the Graphics Screen. (Figure 1.) During the “Re-measure Last Plot” operation the log file can stay open. UTMOST will automatically overwrite the last device data with latest measured data.
