            Abstract : 
We present the design for an automatic wafer-probing ac characterization system that provides 0.1-fF capacitance resolution at the wafer level. The most important difficulties that had to be overcome were: the presence of parasitic elements in the measurement circuit, the design of a probe-card system, and the development of user-friendly system software.
