2. The Diode Test Method (Using a Digital Multimeter) One of the most common methods to test a transistor is by using a digital multimeter (DMM) in diode-testing mode. This test checks whether the ...

Multimeter tests determine if a transistor is blown (open or shorted) and provide a rough estimate of the transistor’s ability to amplify. But they do not report actual operating parameters.

This short article will deal with testing power MOSFETs using an ordinary digital multimeter. Anybody who have ever tried this must have marvelled at strange readings and short circuits found even on ...

A new test structure for a stacked capacitor DRAM cell transistors with a diagonal active-area was developed to analyze the leakage current characteristics of the cell transistors. The leakage current ...
