I-V Characterization

Accelerate research, reliability and failure analysis studies of semiconductor devices, materials and process development with the 4200A-SCS. The highest performance parameter analyzer, it delivers synchronizing current-voltage (I-V), capacitance-voltage (C-V) and ultra-fast pulsed I-V measurements.

Biosensor Characterization

Biosensors or bioFETs convert biological response to an analyte into an electrical signal. The Clarius Software that is integrated into the 4200A-SCS includes a project for testing bioFETs. Use it as a starting point to characterize transfer and output characteristics of your biosensors, and expand your work from there.

Femtofarad Capacitance Measurements

Measure sub-femtofarad capacitances with the 4215-CVU module. By driving 1 V AC, the 4215-CVU can achieve a noise level as low as six attofarads when measuring a 1 fF capacitor. This is just one of dozens of applications included with the Clarius software for measuring capacitance and extracting important parameters.

Highlights
  • Built-in femtofarad measurement capability
  • 10,000 frequency steps from 1kHz to 10MHz
  • Customize any test to any device using user libraries

Semiconductor and NVM Reliability

Put your new technologies to the test with thorough pulsed I-V characterization. The 4200A-SCS comes with support and ready-to-run tests for the latest in NVRAM technologies from floating gate flash to ReRAM and FeRAM. Dual sourcing and measuring capabilities in current and voltage allow both transient and I-V domain characterization.

C-V Measurement for High Impedance Applications

Use Keithley’s custom Very Low Frequency C-V Technique to analyze the capacitance of your high resistance sample. This technique is performed using only source measure unit (SMU) instruments but can be combined with a 4210-CVU to perform higher frequency measurements as well.

Highlights

  • 01 to 10 Hz frequency range with sensitivity of 1 pF to 10 nF
  • 3½-digit typical resolution, minimum typical of 10 fF

Testing when using Long Cables or Capacitive Fixtures

Use 4201 or 4211-SMUs when making tests requires very long cabling or fixtures with higher capacitances. These SMUs are ideal for connecting to LCD test stations, probers, switch matrices or any other large or complicated tester. Field installable versions allow you to add capacity without returning the unit to a service center.
