Measurement of the MOSFET drain current variation under high gate voltage

The method for accurately measuring the drain current of the MOSFETs, which are integrated in an array and are biased at high gate voltage, is studied. Feedback loop in Kelvin connection is made by software to obtain both accurate and stable measurement. The experimental data show that this Kelvin method is accurate and it is applicable to evaluate the accuracy of the conventional Kelvin method using the hardware feedback loop.
