The external method consists in measuring capacitors directly on silicon, with an external capacitance metre. With this technique, only large capacitors (several picofarads) can be measured because of the kT/C thermal noise introduced by the cable lengths used for the measurement [1]. Embedded measurement methods consist in using on silicon a system that

capacitance measurement is charge and discharge method. The voltage developed across a capacitance is proportional to the charging current. The larger the capacitor the longer it takes to charge with constant current. Since the time can easily be measured using a simple counter, digital output is easily available. This method actually is a
