Abstract

Provided is a semiconductor device, a measurement device, a measurement method, and a semiconductor system that enable accurate measurement of the plasma induced damage (PID) effect on a small scale. The semiconductor device includes an NMOSFET whose gate is connected to an antenna part that functions as an antenna in a plasma process and a PMOSFET that controls the connection between the NMOSFET and a ring oscillator. The semiconductor device is provided with a test element group (TEG) that includes an NMOSFET whose gate is connected to an antenna part that functions as an antenna in a plasma process and a PMOSFET that controls the connection between the NMOSFET and a ring oscillator.
