Abstract

C-V measurement is first carried out with respect to a target area on a semiconductor wafer using a measuring electrode located over the target area. Parameters used for C-t measurement of the target area (for example, applied voltages Vacc and Vmeas or a recovery time Tr) are then obtained from a C-V characteristic obtained by the C-V measurement. C-t measurement is subsequently carried out with respect to the target area using these parameters.
