optimize your low current measurements
For applications like determining the gate leakage current of FETs or
testing sensitive nanoelectronic devices, you need to measure
picoamps of current or less with high accuracy. To make these
measurements successfully, you'll not only need a very sensitive
ammeter but the knowledge to choose the proper measurement
settings, select low noise fixtures and cabling, allow sufficient settling
time, and use techniques that prevent unwanted currents from
reducing accuracy. Learn more.

faster. Read our online application note.

characterize your sample's resistivity and hall voltage
The resistivity of semiconductor devices can affect their
capacitance, series resistance, and threshold voltage. For
materials testing, you may want to use a four-point probe
technique to determine resistivity because it eliminates
measurement errors due to the probe resistance, the
spreading resistance under each probe, and the contact
resistance between each metal probe and the
semiconductor material. Learn more.

The Model 4200-SCS supports both the four-point collinear
probe method and the van der Pauw method of determining
resistivity. Its high input impedance (>1016), accurate low
current sourcing, and optional remote preamps make it ideal
for characterizing high resistance samples.
n Supports measuring resistances >1012
n No external switching required, eliminating leakage
and offsets errors due to mechanical switches
n No external instruments required

Built-in support for van der Pauw resistivity testing


Model 4200-SCS systems can be configured with
up to nine Source-Measure Units (SMUs), in any
combination of medium- and high-power versions.

enhance solar/photovoltaic cell efficiency with i-v and c-v testing
To characterize solar/PV cells, you may need to
measure current and capacitance as a function of
an applied DC voltage at various light intensities
and temperature conditions. Important device
parameters such as conversion efficiency and
maximum power output can be extracted from
current-voltage (I-V) and capacitance-voltage (C-
V) measurements, as well as information on
losses in the PV cell. Learn more.

of PV cells, test connections,
and sources of error.

Using pulsed rather than DC signals to characterize
devices allows you to eliminate or study the effects of
device self-heating (joule heating). Pulse I-V testing also
supports time-domain studies, such as transient charge
trapping in the device under test (DUT). Learn more.
