Abstract
A system and method for measuring capacitance between a probe and a semiconductor sample, which may be useful in the field of scanning capacitance microscopy (SCM). The present invention also includes a method for analyzing measured capacitance data by subtracting any changes in capacitance that are due to changes in long-range stray capacitance that occur when the probe assembly is scanned.
