Free Keithley Web-Based Seminar Reveals Secrets for Getting Good C-V Measurement Results

April 20, 2010 - PRLog -- Cleveland, Ohio - Keithley Instruments, Inc. , a world leader in advanced electrical test instruments and systems, broadcasted a free, web-based seminar titled “Tips, Tricks, and Traps of Semiconductor Capacitance-Voltage (C-V) Testing” on Thursday, March 25, 2010.  This one-hour seminar discussed the keys to getting good C-V measurement results and helped laboratory engineers implement, troubleshoot, and verify C-V measurement systems. Topics discussed included system setup and results from some extended C-V applications, such as high voltage C-V and quasistatic C-V.  To register for this event and future events, visit www.keithley.com/events/semconfs/webseminars.

Those participating in Tips, Tricks, and Traps for Semiconductor Capacitance-Voltage (C-V) Testing had the opportunity to learn:
•   How to properly connect a C-V instrument to a probe station
•   Common cable correction techniques
•   Performance verification at the probe tips
•   How to identify and troubleshoot typical C-V errors
•   How to implement extended C-V applications, such as high voltage and quasistatic C-V

This seminar was intended for those whose job requires performing C-V measurements. Students, technicians, engineers, and lab managers who are responsible for installing and maintaining C-V equipment and probe stations will also benefit from this seminar.
