Title: Precision stabilization system for MIS-structure rf capacitance

OSTI ID:5843137

A relatively simple resonant small-signal system is described for stabilization of the rf capacitance of MIS structures in the frequency range of 1-30 MHz that is based on a VM560 Q-meter. The relative sensitivity to capacitance variation ..delta..C/C is 2 x 10/sup -6/ at a level of C approx. 500 pF, the absolute sensitivity ..delta..C approx. 1 fF, and the response time is approx. 0.1 sec. The system is designed for relaxation spectroscopy of boundary states in MIS structures in the constant-capacitance mode by methods of unsteady capacitance and thermostimulated discharge of an MIS capacitor.
