Highlights
Multiple Measurement Instruments in One Semiconductor Device Analyzer
The Keysight B1500A semiconductor parameter analyzer is an all-in-one device characterization analyzer supporting IV, CV, pulse/dynamic IV and more. The mainframe and plug-in modules enable the characterization of most electronic devices, as well as materials, semiconductors, and active/passive components.
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. The B1500A modular architecture gives you the flexibility to upgrade when needed.
- Switch between CV and IV measurements without re-cabling
- Capture ultra-fast transient phenomena not possible with other conventional test instruments
- Detect multi-frequency AC capacitance measurements from a range of 1 kHz to 5 MHz
- Analyze data without an external PC using the intuitive 15-inch touch screen interface
- Configure the B1500A with your choice of measurement modules, up to 10 slots in a box
- Enjoy the 15-inch wide touch screen with intuitive EasyEXPERT group+ software
