By completing the MOSCap Lab in ABACUS - Assembly of Basic Applications for Coordinated Understanding of Semiconductors, users will be able to a) understand the operation of a Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor using energy band diagrams, b) study the effects of interface traps, work function, oxide thickness, etc. on capacitance-voltage output, and c) understand MOS-C C-V characteristics in low and high frequency limits.


The specific objectives of the MOSCap Lab are:
