Semiconductor Reliability
Perform complex reliability tests while letting the 4200A-SCS take care of the complex coding. Included projects like Hot Carrier Injection Degradation (HCI) give you a jump start on device analysis.
Evaluating Hot Carrier Induced Degradation of MOSFET Devices
Highlights
- Combine DC I-V, C-V, and pulse measurements in one set of tests
- Included support for many probe stations and external instruments
- Easy to use cycling system allows repeat measurements without coding
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.
Tips and Techniques to Simplilfy MOSFET/MOSCAP Device Characterization
Highlights
- .01 to 10 Hz frequency range with sensitivity of 1 pF to 10 nF
- 3½-digit typical resolution, minimum typical of 10 fF
Non-volatile Memory
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.

VCSEL Testing
Multiple, concurrent source measure unit (SMU) instruments in the 4200A-SCS simplify your laser diode testing. Generate LIV (Light intensity-Current-Voltage) curves with connections to only a single box. Advanced probe station and switch support means you can use the same instrument for on-wafer production testing of individual diodes or entire arrays. SMUs can be configured for up to 21 W capabilities for a variety of continuous wave (CW) VCSEL applications.
Nanoscale Device Characterization
The integrated instrument capabilities of the 4200A-SCS simplify the measurement requirements in developing nanoscale electronics such as carbon nanotubes. Start your investigations from a preconfigured test project and expand your work from there. A pulsed source mode for SMUs helps reduce overheating problems can be combined with low voltage C-V and ultra-fast pulsed DC measurements in seconds.

Resistivity of Materials
Use a 4200A-SCS with integrated SMUs to easily measure resistivity using a four-point collinear probe or van der Pauw method. Included tests perform repetitive van der Pauw calculations automatically, saving you valuable research time. A maximum current resolution of 10aA and input impedance of >1016 ohms give you more accurate and precise results.
