  • Patent number: 11635458
    Abstract: Provided is an analyzing apparatus including a charge amount analyzing unit configured to analyze, by using a device simulator configured to simulate a transient change of a charge in a semiconductor device having a first main terminal and a second main terminal, a change of a charge amount at any one of the terminals when a power source voltage applied between the first main terminal and the second main terminal is changed by a displacement voltage smaller than an initial voltage after a current flowing between the first main terminal and the second main terminal is stabilized with the semiconductor device being set to an ON state and the power source voltage being set to the initial voltage, and a capacitance calculating unit configured to compute a terminal capacitance at any one of the terminals based on the change of the charge amount analyzed by the charge amount analyzing unit.
