[0050] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0051] In the field of chips, the requirements for the performance and power consumption of integrated circuits are getting higher and higher. Usually, at least one transistor with higher reliability is set in the integrated circuit to meet the requirements of the performance and power consumption of the integrated circuit. Therefore, it is particularly important to study the reliability of transistors in integrated circuits. Taking the reliability of the transistor as the negative bias temperature instability as an example, in the process of studying the negative bias temperature instability of the transistor, it is necessary to first determine the initial value of the threshold voltage of the transistor. However, in the process of determining the initial value of the threshold voltage of the transistor in the related art, there is a problem that the correctness of the determined initial value of the threshold voltage is low. Based on this, an embodiment of the present application provides a method for determining the initial value of the threshold voltage, which can improve the correctness of the determined initial value of the threshold voltage in the process of determining the initial value of the threshold voltage of the transistor.

[0052] The method for determining the initial value of the threshold voltage provided in the embodiment of the present application can be applied to Figure 1 The threshold voltage initial value determination system shown. The threshold voltage initial value determination system may include a computer device and a chip to be tested, wherein the chip to be tested is provided with at least one transistor; Figure 1Take n chips to be tested as an example (the transistors on each chip to be tested are not shown). Optionally, the above-mentioned computer device can be a device with data processing function such as a personal computer, a desktop computer, a laptop computer, a smart phone, a smart bracelet, an iPad, etc.; the above-mentioned chip to be tested can be a processor chip, a memory chip, a memory control chip, an encryption chip, an audio processing chip, a power management chip, etc., which is not limited to this embodiment of the present application. Optionally, the above-mentioned transistor can be a depletion-type metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor Field-Effect Transistor, MOSFET), and the MOSFET can be an N-type MOSFET or a P-type MOSFET; in the embodiment of the present application, the MOSFET is a carbon nanotube MOSFET. For example, the computer device and the chip to be tested can be connected for communication, and the connection method can be WiFi, mobile network or Bluetooth connection. The following embodiment uses a computer device as the execution subject of the threshold voltage initial value determination method to introduce the specific process of the threshold voltage initial value determination method.

[0053] like Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a method for determining an initial value of a threshold voltage provided in an embodiment of the present application. The method can be implemented by the following steps:

[0054] S101, obtaining a plurality of preliminary transfer characteristics when an initial bidirectional voltage waveform is applied to a target transistor, wherein the initial bidirectional voltage waveform is determined according to a starting input voltage and an ending input voltage of the target transistor.

[0055] In the embodiment of the present application, the target transistor can be any transistor in the chip to be tested, and the target transistor lacks a good interface between the silicon substrate and the silicon dioxide insulating layer, and has many interface defects. In practical applications, for transistors with many defects, a hysteresis method can be used to measure the transfer characteristics of such transistors, wherein the voltage waveform applied to the transistor by the hysteresis method is a bidirectional voltage waveform, such as Figure 3 Shown is a bidirectional voltage waveform.

[0056] It should be noted here that, in the process of measuring the transfer characteristics of the transistor, the gate voltage Vg of the transistor does not stop after sweeping from the starting input voltage Vgstart to the ending input voltage Vgstop, but continues to sweep from the ending input voltage to the starting input voltage, completing the application of a bidirectional voltage waveform. In the embodiment of the present application, the starting input voltage Vgstart of the target transistor can be the rated operating voltage of the target transistor.

[0057] Specifically, in the process of applying an initial bidirectional voltage waveform to the target transistor, the computer device can obtain multiple preliminary transfer characteristics of the target transistor when the initial bidirectional voltage waveform is applied. The above-mentioned initial bidirectional voltage waveform is determined according to the starting input voltage and the ending input voltage of the target transistor. In an embodiment of the present application, the starting input voltage of the target transistor can be the operating voltage of the target transistor; the ending input voltage of the target transistor can be the voltage of any point in the cutoff region and the subthreshold region in the complete transfer characteristic of the target transistor, but in an embodiment of the present application, the ending input voltage of the target transistor can be the voltage of any point in the saturation region in the complete transfer characteristic of the target transistor.

[0058] Among them, the method of applying the initial bidirectional voltage waveform to the target transistor can be that the computer device sends a starting input voltage and an ending input voltage to the power supply device, instructing the power supply device to determine the initial bidirectional voltage waveform based on the starting input voltage and the ending input voltage, and apply the initial bidirectional voltage waveform to the target transistor.

[0059] S102. When the hysteresis of each preliminary transfer characteristic is in an unstable state, the termination input voltage is adjusted to obtain an adjusted termination input voltage, and an adjusted bidirectional voltage waveform of the target transistor is determined according to the adjusted termination input voltage and the starting input voltage.

[0060] In practical applications, a computer device can pre-train an algorithm model and input each preliminary transfer characteristic into the algorithm model in sequence. The algorithm model judges the stability of the hysteresis of each preliminary transfer characteristic and outputs the stable state of the hysteresis of each preliminary transfer characteristic. When it is determined that the hysteresis of each preliminary transfer characteristic is in an unstable state, the termination input voltage is adjusted to obtain the adjusted termination input voltage, and the adjusted bidirectional voltage waveform of the target transistor is determined based on the adjusted termination input voltage and the starting input voltage.

[0061] The method of adjusting the termination input voltage to obtain the adjusted termination input voltage may be to perform an arithmetic operation on the termination input voltage to obtain the adjusted termination input voltage. Optionally, the arithmetic operation may be implemented by at least one of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

[0062] Optionally, the voltage adjustment amount may be a negative value, and the absolute value of the voltage adjustment amount may be less than the rated operating voltage of the target transistor, but in an embodiment of the present application, the voltage adjustment amount is equal to the negative rated operating voltage, that is, the absolute value of the voltage adjustment amount is equal to the rated operating voltage of the target transistor.

[0063] In one embodiment, the step of adjusting the termination input voltage to obtain an adjusted termination input voltage in the above S102 may include: summing the termination input voltage and the voltage adjustment amount to obtain the adjusted termination input voltage.

[0064] S103, obtaining a plurality of adjusted transfer characteristics when the target transistor is applied with an adjusted bidirectional voltage waveform, and determining an initial threshold voltage value of the target transistor according to each adjusted transfer characteristic when the hysteresis of each adjusted transfer characteristic is in a stable state.

[0065] Specifically, in the process of reapplying the adjusted bidirectional voltage waveform to the target transistor, the computer device can obtain a plurality of adjusted transfer characteristics of the target transistor when the adjusted bidirectional voltage waveform is applied. The adjusted bidirectional voltage waveform is similar to Figure 3 The waveform shown.

[0066] The method of applying the adjusted bidirectional voltage waveform to the target transistor may be that the computer device sends the adjusted bidirectional voltage waveform to the power supply device, instructing the power supply device to apply the adjusted bidirectional voltage waveform to the target transistor.

[0067] Furthermore, the computer device can input each adjusted transfer characteristic into the algorithm model in turn, and the algorithm model judges the stability of the hysteresis of each adjusted transfer characteristic and outputs the stable state of the hysteresis of each adjusted transfer characteristic. When it is determined that the hysteresis of each adjusted transfer characteristic is in a stable state, the initial value of the threshold voltage of the target transistor is determined according to each adjusted transfer characteristic.

[0068] In practical applications, the computer device can process each adjusted transfer characteristic to obtain the initial threshold voltage value of the target transistor by using curve extrapolation, linear extrapolation, derivation, quadratic function fitting, etc. In an embodiment of the present application, the computer device can process each adjusted transfer characteristic by using a constant current method to obtain the initial threshold voltage value of the target transistor.

[0069] The technical solution in the embodiment of the present application obtains multiple preliminary transfer characteristics when the target transistor is applied with an initial bidirectional voltage waveform, the initial bidirectional voltage waveform is determined according to the starting input voltage and the terminating input voltage of the target transistor, and when the hysteresis of each preliminary transfer characteristic is in an unstable state, the terminating input voltage is adjusted to obtain an adjusted terminating input voltage, and the adjusted bidirectional voltage waveform of the target transistor is determined according to the adjusted terminating input voltage and the starting input voltage, and multiple adjusted transfer characteristics are obtained when the target transistor is applied with the adjusted bidirectional voltage waveform, and when the hysteresis of each adjusted transfer characteristic is in a stable state, the initial value of the threshold voltage of the target transistor is determined according to each adjusted transfer characteristic; the above method can change the bidirectional voltage waveform applied to the target transistor by adjusting the terminating input voltage of the target transistor, so that when the hysteresis of the transfer characteristic of the target transistor is in a stable state, the initial value of the threshold voltage of the target transistor with higher accuracy is obtained based on the transfer characteristic of the stable state, so as to support the study of the negative bias temperature instability of the target transistor; at the same time, the above method does not require the participation of complex algorithms, thereby reducing the complexity of determining the initial value of the threshold voltage of the target transistor, accelerating the speed of determining the initial value of the threshold voltage of the target transistor, and improving the efficiency of determining the initial value of the threshold voltage of the target transistor.

[0070] The following is a description of the process of obtaining a plurality of preliminary transfer characteristics of the target transistor when the initial bidirectional voltage waveform is applied. Figure 4 As shown, the step of obtaining a plurality of preliminary transfer characteristics of the target transistor when the initial bidirectional voltage waveform is applied in the above S101 can be implemented in the following manner:

[0071] S111 . In the process of applying the initial bidirectional voltage waveform to the target transistor multiple times, measuring the output current and input voltage of the target transistor.

[0072] Specifically, in the process of applying the initial bidirectional voltage waveform to the target transistor multiple times, the computer device can send a measurement instruction to the measuring device, instructing the measuring device to start synchronously measuring the output current Id (A) and input voltage Vg (V) of the target transistor. In addition, the computer device can also output a measurement instruction to instruct the user to synchronously measure the output current and input voltage of the target transistor through the measuring device. Among them, at the same time, the output current of the target transistor and the input voltage of the target transistor are one-to-one corresponding.

[0073] It should be noted that applying an initial bidirectional voltage waveform to a target transistor once can complete a measurement and obtain a set of corresponding relationship data between the output current and the input voltage of the target transistor. In the embodiment of the present application, multiple sets of corresponding relationship data obtained by applying the initial bidirectional voltage waveform multiple times are used as measurement results.

[0074] S121 . Constructing preliminary transfer characteristics respectively according to the measurement results obtained in each process of applying the initial bidirectional voltage waveform.

[0075] In practical applications, a transfer characteristic curve, ie, a preliminary transfer characteristic, can be generated according to a set of corresponding relationship data in the measurement results.

[0076] The technical solution in the embodiment of the present application measures the output current and input voltage of the target transistor during the process of applying the initial bidirectional voltage waveform to the target transistor multiple times, and constructs each preliminary transfer characteristic according to the measurement results obtained during each application of the initial bidirectional voltage waveform. The above method can construct the transfer characteristics of the target transistor only by measuring the output current and input voltage of the target transistor. The process is relatively simple and does not require complex algorithms, thereby speeding up the acquisition of the transfer characteristics of the target transistor.

[0077] In one embodiment, the preliminary transfer characteristic includes a first curve and a second curve; before executing the step in S200 above, Figure 5 As shown, the above method may further include the following steps:

[0078] S104. When the differences between different first curves in each preliminary transfer characteristic are all within a preset difference range, the differences between different second curves in each preliminary transfer characteristic are all within the difference range, and the differences between the first curve and the second curve in each preliminary transfer characteristic are the same, determine that the hysteresis of each preliminary transfer characteristic is in a stable state.

[0079] It should be noted here that the preliminary transfer characteristics include a first curve and a second curve, wherein, since the initial bidirectional voltage waveform is symmetrical based on the termination input voltage, correspondingly, the starting point of the first curve is the same as the starting point of the second curve, and the end point of the first curve is the same as the end point of the second curve.

[0080] Among them, the difference between the two first curves in each preliminary transfer characteristic is within the preset difference range, which means that the difference between the two first curves in each preliminary transfer characteristic is almost 0, or the first curves in each preliminary transfer characteristic are basically the same; the difference between the two second curves in each preliminary transfer characteristic is within the preset difference range, which means that the difference between the two second curves in each preliminary transfer characteristic is almost 0, or the second curves in each preliminary transfer characteristic are basically the same. At the same time, for any preliminary transfer characteristic, the difference between the first curve and the second curve in the preliminary transfer characteristic is the same.

[0081] Specifically, when the differences between different first curves in each preliminary transfer characteristic are within a preset difference range, the differences between different second curves in each preliminary transfer characteristic are within the difference range, and the differences between the first curve and the second curve in each preliminary transfer characteristic are the same, it can be determined that the hysteresis of each preliminary transfer characteristic is in a stable state.

[0082] S105. Otherwise, determine that the hysteresis of each preliminary transfer characteristic is in an unstable state.

[0083] Among them, when any of the following three conditions is not satisfied: the differences between different first curves in each preliminary transfer characteristic are within a preset difference range, the differences between different second curves in each preliminary transfer characteristic are within the difference range, and the differences between the first curve and the second curve in each preliminary transfer characteristic are the same, it can be determined that the hysteresis of each preliminary transfer characteristic is in an unstable state.

[0084] The technical solution in the embodiment of the present application determines that the hysteresis of each preliminary transfer characteristic is in a stable state when the differences between different first curves in each preliminary transfer characteristic are within a preset difference range, the differences between different second curves in each preliminary transfer characteristic are within the difference range, and the differences between the first curve and the second curve in each preliminary transfer characteristic are the same; otherwise, it determines that the hysteresis of each preliminary transfer characteristic is in an unstable state; the above method does not require the participation of complex algorithms, thereby reducing the complexity of determining the hysteresis stability of the preliminary transfer characteristics, speeding up the determination of the hysteresis stability, and improving the efficiency of determining the hysteresis stability; at the same time, the above method does not require human participation, thereby reducing participation errors and improving the accuracy of the hysteresis stability of the determined preliminary transfer characteristics.

[0085] In one embodiment, the adjusted transfer characteristics include a third curve and a fourth curve; before performing the step of determining the initial value of the threshold voltage of the target transistor according to each adjusted transfer characteristic in S103, the method may further include the following steps:

[0086] When the differences between different third curves in each adjusted transfer characteristic are within a preset difference range, the differences between different fourth curves in each adjusted transfer characteristic are within the difference range, and the differences between the third curve and the fourth curve in each adjusted transfer characteristic are the same, it is determined that the hysteresis of each adjusted transfer characteristic is in a stable state; otherwise, it is determined that the hysteresis of each adjusted transfer characteristic is in an unstable state.

[0087] In practical applications, the starting point of the third curve is the same as the starting point of the fourth curve, and the end point of the third curve is the same as the end point of the fourth curve.

[0088] Among them, the difference between the third curves in each adjusted transfer characteristic is within the preset difference range, which means that the difference between the third curves in each adjusted transfer characteristic is almost 0, or the third curves in each adjusted transfer characteristic are basically the same; the difference between the fourth curves in each adjusted transfer characteristic is within the preset difference range, which means that the difference between the fourth curves in each adjusted transfer characteristic is almost 0, or the fourth curves in each adjusted transfer characteristic are basically the same. At the same time, for any adjusted transfer characteristic, the difference between the third curve and the fourth curve in the adjusted transfer characteristic is the same.

[0089] Specifically, when the differences between different third curves in each adjusted transfer characteristic are within a preset difference range, the differences between different fourth curves in each adjusted transfer characteristic are within the difference range, and the differences between the third curve and the fourth curve in each adjusted transfer characteristic are the same, it can be determined that the hysteresis of each adjusted transfer characteristic is in a stable state.

[0090] At the same time, when any of the following three conditions is not satisfied: the differences between different third curves in each adjusted transfer characteristic are within a preset difference range, the differences between different fourth curves in each adjusted transfer characteristic are within a difference range, and the differences between the third curve and the fourth curve in each adjusted transfer characteristic are the same, it can be determined that the hysteresis of each preliminary transfer characteristic is in an unstable state.

[0091] The technical solution in the embodiment of the present application determines that the hysteresis of each adjusted transfer characteristic is in a stable state when the differences between different third curves in each adjusted transfer characteristic are within a preset difference range, the differences between different fourth curves in each adjusted transfer characteristic are within the difference range, and the differences between the third curve and the fourth curve in each adjusted transfer characteristic are the same; otherwise, it is determined that the hysteresis of each adjusted transfer characteristic is in an unstable state; the above method does not require the participation of complex algorithms, thereby reducing the complexity of determining the hysteresis stability of the adjusted transfer characteristics, speeding up the determination of the hysteresis stability, and improving the efficiency of determining the hysteresis stability; at the same time, the above method does not require human participation, thereby reducing participation errors and improving the accuracy of the determined hysteresis stability of the adjusted transfer characteristics.

[0092] In some scenarios, after measuring the transfer characteristics of the target transistor twice, the hysteresis of the transfer characteristics is still in an unstable state. At this time, it is necessary to continue to make at least one adjustment to the bidirectional voltage waveform applied to the target transistor to re-measure the latest transfer characteristics of the target transistor until the hysteresis of the latest transfer characteristics is in a stable state. The following describes the process of obtaining the latest transfer characteristics in a stable state when the hysteresis of each adjusted transfer characteristic is in an unstable state. In one embodiment, after executing the step of obtaining multiple adjusted transfer characteristics of the target transistor when the adjusted bidirectional voltage waveform is applied in S103, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 As shown, the above method may also include:

[0093] S106 . In the case of a hysteresis unstable state of each adjusted transfer characteristic, detect whether the threshold voltage obtained when the target transistor is applied with the initial bidirectional voltage waveform and the adjusted bidirectional voltage waveform respectively has the same variation trend with the measurement sequence number.

[0094] It should be noted here that in the process of applying the initial bidirectional voltage waveform to the target transistor, the transfer characteristics of the target transistor can be measured multiple times to obtain multiple preliminary transfer characteristics; each preliminary transfer characteristic corresponds to a measurement number. At the same time, a preliminary transfer characteristic can also represent a set of corresponding relationship data between the output current and the input voltage of the target transistor through the corresponding transfer characteristic curve. Correspondingly, a threshold voltage can be obtained according to a preliminary transfer characteristic, and finally multiple preliminary transfer characteristics can obtain multiple threshold voltages. Further, a threshold voltage variation curve with the measurement number is constructed according to these multiple threshold voltages and the corresponding measurement numbers. Among them, the threshold voltage variation trend with the measurement number refers to the threshold voltage variation curve with the measurement number being an upward trend or a downward trend.

[0095] In practical applications, the threshold voltage obtained when the target transistor is applied with the initial bidirectional voltage waveform may have an upward or downward trend as the measurement number changes; the threshold voltage obtained when the target transistor is applied with the adjusted bidirectional voltage waveform may have an upward or downward trend as the measurement number changes. Optionally, the threshold voltage obtained when the target transistor is applied with the initial bidirectional voltage waveform may have the same or different trend as the threshold voltage obtained when the target transistor is applied with the adjusted bidirectional voltage waveform.

[0096] S107 . According to the detection result and the voltage adjustment amount, the adjusted termination input voltage is updated to obtain the current termination input voltage.

[0097] Specifically, the computer device can pre-train an input voltage update model, and then input the detection result and the voltage adjustment amount into the input voltage update model, which updates the adjusted termination input voltage according to the detection result and the voltage adjustment amount and outputs the current termination input voltage.

[0098] Optionally, the above-mentioned input voltage update model can be implemented by at least one of a convolutional neural network model, a fully connected neural network model, a long short-term memory neural network model, a recurrent neural network model and a residual neural network model.

[0099] In one embodiment, the step of updating the adjusted termination input voltage to obtain the current termination input voltage according to the detection result and the voltage adjustment amount in S107 can be implemented in the following manner:

[0100] If the detection result is different, the voltage adjustment amount is updated to obtain the latest voltage adjustment amount, and the latest voltage adjustment amount and the initial input voltage are summed to obtain the current termination input voltage; if the detection result is the same, the voltage adjustment amount and the initial input voltage are summed to obtain the current termination input voltage. Among them, the latest voltage adjustment amount is less than the voltage adjustment amount.

[0101] Specifically, when the detection result is that the threshold voltage obtained when the target transistor is respectively applied with the initial bidirectional voltage waveform and the adjusted bidirectional voltage waveform has different changing trends with the measurement sequence number, the voltage adjustment amount can be updated to obtain the latest voltage adjustment amount, and the latest voltage adjustment amount and the initial input voltage are summed to obtain the current termination input voltage.

[0102] In practical applications, the voltage adjustment amount can be updated by multiplying the voltage adjustment amount by a preset threshold to obtain the latest voltage adjustment amount. The preset threshold can be -0.1, -0.2, -0.3, etc. In the embodiment of the present application, the preset threshold is equal to -0.5 as an example for explanation.

[0103] In addition, when the detection result is that the threshold voltage obtained when the target transistor is applied with the initial bidirectional voltage waveform and the adjusted bidirectional voltage waveform respectively has the same trend of changing with the measurement sequence, the voltage adjustment amount and the initial input voltage can be directly summed to obtain the current termination input voltage.

[0104] S108 , reacquiring a plurality of latest transfer characteristics of the target transistor based on the current termination input voltage and the initial input voltage, until the hysteresis of each latest transfer characteristic is in a stable state.

[0105] Furthermore, the latest bidirectional voltage waveform can be determined based on the current termination input voltage and the initial input voltage, and then multiple latest transfer characteristics of the target transistor can be reacquired in the process of applying the latest bidirectional voltage waveform to the target transistor until the hysteresis of each latest transfer characteristic is in a stable state.

[0106] For example, taking the target transistor as a P-type carbon nanotube transistor manufactured by a 90-nanometer process, and setting the starting input voltage Vgstart of the target transistor to 1.8V and the ending input voltage Vgstop to 0V, after applying the initial bidirectional voltage waveform determined by the starting input voltage Vgstart and the ending input voltage Vgstop of the target transistor to the target transistor multiple times, the obtained multiple preliminary transfer characteristics can be obtained by Figure 7 indicates that, and Figure 8 for Figure 7 The corresponding threshold voltage Vth (V) changes with the measurement sequence number. Figure 7 It can be seen that the hysteresis of multiple preliminary transfer characteristics is in an unstable state. The termination input voltage Vgstop can be further adjusted to the adjusted termination input voltage -1.8V, and the adjusted bidirectional voltage waveform determined according to the starting input voltage Vgstart and the adjusted termination input voltage of the target transistor is applied to the target transistor multiple times. The multiple adjusted transfer characteristics obtained can be obtained by Fig. 9 indicates that, and Fig.10 for Fig. 9 The corresponding threshold voltage changes with the measurement sequence number. Fig.10It can be seen that the hysteresis of multiple adjusted transfer characteristics is in an unstable state, and the threshold voltage obtained when the target transistor is applied with the initial bidirectional voltage waveform and the adjusted bidirectional voltage waveform respectively has an inconsistent change trend with the measurement sequence number. The voltage adjustment amount -1.8V can be further updated to the latest voltage adjustment amount -0.5*-1.8V (i.e. 0.9V), and the adjusted termination input voltage and the latest voltage adjustment amount are summed to obtain the current termination input voltage -0.9V. After applying the latest bidirectional voltage waveform determined according to the starting input voltage Vgstart of the target transistor and the current termination input voltage to the target transistor multiple times, the multiple transfer characteristics obtained in this case can be obtained through Fig.11 indicates that, and Fig.12 for Fig.11 The corresponding threshold voltage changes with the measurement sequence number. Fig.12 It can be seen that the hysteresis of the multiple transfer characteristics in this case is in a stable state, and at this point, the measurement is terminated.

[0107] The technical solution in the embodiment of the present application, in the case of an unstable hysteresis state of each adjusted transfer characteristic, detects whether the threshold voltage obtained when the initial bidirectional voltage waveform and the adjusted bidirectional voltage waveform are applied to the target transistor respectively has the same trend of change with the measurement number, and updates the adjusted termination input voltage according to the detection result and the voltage adjustment amount to obtain the current termination input voltage, and re-acquires multiple latest transfer characteristics of the target transistor based on the current termination input voltage and the initial input voltage until the hysteresis of each latest transfer characteristic is in a stable state; the above method can select the termination input voltage of the updated target transistor according to the consistency of the threshold voltage change trend with the measurement number obtained from two adjacent measurements before the current moment, so as to effectively help speed up the speed at which the hysteresis of the latest transfer characteristic is in a stable state, and the processing process is relatively simple, thereby being able to speed up the processing speed; at the same time, the above method can flexibly select a reasonable way to update the adjusted termination input voltage according to different detection results, so as to improve the accurate basic processing for the subsequent hysteresis of the latest transfer characteristic to be in a stable state.
