B1500A Semiconductor Device Analyzer

B1500A Semiconductor Device Analyzer

Introduction

Keysight B1500A Semiconductor Device Analyzer of Precision Current-Voltage Analyzer Series is an all in one analyzer supporting IV, CV, pulse/dynamic IV and more, which is designed for all-round characterization from basic to cutting-edge applications. It provides a wide range of measurement capabilities to cover the electrical characterization and evaluation of devices, materials, semiconductors, active/passive components, or virtually any other type of electronic device with uncompromised measurement reliability and efficiency. In addition, the B1500A’s modular architecture with ten available slots allows you to add or upgrade measurement modules if your measurement needs change over time.

Keysight EasyEXPERT group+ GUI based characterization software is available either on the B1500A’s embedded Windows 10 platform with 15-inch touch screen or on your PC to accelerate the characterization tasks. It supports efficient and repeatable device characterization in the entire characterization process from measurement setup and execution to analysis and data management either interactive manual operation or automation across a wafer in conjunction with a semiautomatic wafer prober. EasyEXPERT group+ makes it easy to perform complex device characterization immediately with hundreds of ready-to-use measurements (application tests) furnished, and allows you the option of storing test condition and measurement data automatically after each measurement in a unique built-in database (workspace), ensuring that valuable information is not lost and that measurements can be repeated at a later date. Keysight B1500A provides the complete solution for device characterization with these versatile capabilities.

Maximum Module Configuration

The total power consumption of all SMU modules cannot exceed 84 W. Under this rule, the B1500A can contain any combination of the following SMUs:

– Up to 10 MPSMUs

– Up to 10 HRSMUs

– Up to 4 HPSMUs

– Up to 4 MCSMUs

Only one single-slot MFCMU can be installed per B1500A mainframe. Up to five single-slot HV-SPGUs can be installed per mainframe. Up to five single-slot WGFMUs can be installed per mainframe.

When one or more WGFMU modules are installed in the B1500A mainframe, the following table applies. Multiply the values given below by the number of installed modules of that type and add the products together. The sum of the products must be less than or equal to 59 for the configuration to be permissible.
