Numerical derivation of IV curve is always a possibility to deduce dI/dV graph. How to measure it directly in voltage bias mode? What concept is required for it? What instrument are required to measure dI/dV?

There's many ways to measure it.
I assume you're interested in the differential resistance of a two-terminal device, or of a port on an n-port device.
You could use a semiconductor parameter analyzer to sweep voltage or current and measure the response, then take a numerical derivative.
You could use a function generator (possibly with a circuit to bias the device to the interesting operating point) to apply a sinusoidal voltage, and measure the current response.
You could use a vector network analyzer to measure the RF reflection coefficient at a particular bias point and determine the resistance from that.

\$\begingroup\$ Yeah Thanks for the asnswer. I am interested in second one. I am really novice in circuit design and I'm sorry. I have a Lock-in as sinusoidal Voltage source, DC Current source and Multimeter. Can you please help me how to make it functional. How can I design the circuit? What concept it uses? Any other instument is required for it? \$\endgroup\$ Jul 18, 2019 at 8:30

\$\begingroup\$ @Greg, if you have more questions you should post them as new questions. \$\endgroup\$ Jul 18, 2019 at 14:18
