Abstract

A method analyzes traps in a semiconductor device by determining a first-order derivative of a signal representing an operation of the semiconductor device over time to produce a signal rate change. The traps in the semiconductor device are analyzed based on lifetimes corresponding to peaks of the signal rate change.
