[mems-talk] Off-the-shelf product with known C-V

[Koray Karakaya]

Hi Andrew,
What kind of odd results are you talking about? And may be more importantly,
what you were expecting to see? I'm asking because you might be observing
polarization switch during voltage sweep if you are using a ferroelectric
material, as in the case of perovskite piezoelectrics for instance.
