Abstract

A semiconductor device tester includes a parametric measurement unit (PMU) driver circuit that provides a DC test signal for testing a semiconductor device, and a feedback circuit that senses the DC test signal at an output of the PMU driver circuit and sends the sensed DC test signal to an input of the PMU driver circuit for compensating the DC test signal.
