Accelerates basic current-voltage (IV) and capacitance-voltage (CV) measurements and industry-leading ultra-fast IV device characterization
Comprehensive solutions for all your device characterization needs:
The B1500A semiconductor device analyzer combines a wide range of measurement and analysis functions into a single instrument for accurate and fast device characterization. It is the only multifunctional parameter analyzer available today that offers a broad range of device characterization functions with the best measurement reliability and repeatability. It performs a full range of measurements from basic current-voltage (IV) and capacitance-voltage (CV) characterization to fast, accurate pulse IV testing. In addition, the B1500A's 10-slot modular architecture allows you to add or upgrade measurement modules to meet changing measurement needs.
