    Abstract: A device is provided for electrically measuring surface characteristics of a sample. The device comprises at least one group of three electrodes: a first and second electrode spaced apart from each other and configured to be placed onto the surface of the sample, and a third electrode between the first two but isolated from these two electrodes by a one or more first insulators, wherein a second insulator further isolates the central electrode from the sample when the device is placed thereon. The three electrodes and the insulators are attached to a single or to multiple holders with conductors incorporated therein for allowing the coupling of the electrodes to power sources or measurement tools. The placement of the device onto a semiconductor sample creates a transistor with the sample surface acting as the channel. The device thereby allows the determination of the transistor characteristics of the sample in a straightforward way.

    Abstract: A method of measuring an electrical characteristic of a current path is disclosed. In one aspect, the method includes a probe for scanning spreading resistance microscopy (SSRM), a test sample contacted by the probe, a back contact on the test sample, a bias voltage source and a logarithmic SSRM amplifier, when a modulation at a predefined frequency is applied to either the contact force of the probe or to the bias voltage, the device comprising electronic circuitry for producing in real time a signal representative of the electrical characteristic, according to the formula lognA=±VSSRM±logn(dV)+Vmultiplier.
