High-Speed Semiconductor Characterization System Allows Fast, Easy Switching Between Users and Applications.Business Editors CLEVELAND--(BUSINESS WIRE)--July 12, 2000 Keithley Instruments Keithley Instruments (NYSE: KEI) is a measurement and instrument company headquartered in Solon, Ohio. Keithley develops, manufactures, markets and sells highly accurate instruments and data acquisition products, as well as complete system solutions for high-volume production , Inc. announces its Model 4200-SCS Semiconductor Characterization A rather long and fancy word for analyzing a system or process and measuring its "characteristics." For example, a Web characterization would yield the number of current sites on the Web, types of sites, annual growth, etc. System. The new Model 4200-SCS performs lab grade DC device characterization with real-time plotting and analysis capability. Semiconductor engineers will like the ease of use, high precision, and sub-femtoamp resolution. The built-in software delivers superior performance in all areas important to users: setup, data collection, analysis and data storage. Moreover, the Model 4200-SCS has speedier throughput and higher resolution than any comparable device characterization system. For users, this unmatched speed, sensitivity and ease of use means they can solve design and production problems faster, bring processes back on track to prevent a yield crash, and get to market quicker. To speed up measurements even more, the Model 4200-SCS has an instrument structure that allows simultaneous measurement of up to eight different measurement channels (compared to only one channel for its closest competitor), and software that requires only one mouse click to move between tests. Even novice users can quickly collect data without programming by using the Model 4200-SCS's curve trace application, which supplies mouse-click access to view multiple on-screen on·screen or on-screen adj. & adv. 1. As shown on a movie, television, or display screen. 2. Within public view; in public. data plots, automatic sequencing, and standard built-in test libraries. To serve the needs of many different applications, labs and departments, the Model 4200-SCS supports popular CV meters, switching matrixes, and related test equipment. The integral PC platform of the Model 4200-SCS has a large fixed disk storage capacity to accommodate data from a large number of tests. Both the hardware and software provide easy, secure integration into the fab's data collection network. Files are stored in both Excel and ASCII ASCII or American Standard Code for Information Interchange, a set of codes used to represent letters, numbers, a few symbols, and control characters. Originally designed for teletype operations, it has found wide application in computers. format for maximum compatibility. A versatile network interface allows data to be quickly distributed to wherever it's needed for instant analysis. The Model 4200-SCS has 0.1 fA current measurement resolution, which is an order of magnitude A change in quantity or volume as measured by the decimal point. For example, from tens to hundreds is one order of magnitude. Tens to thousands is two orders of magnitude; tens to millions is three orders of magnitude, etc. better than its closest competition. One reason for the performance advantages of the Model 4200-SCS is a low noise pre-amp that mounts directly on the probe station to eliminate interconnect (1) To attach one device to another. (2) A physical port (plug, socket) or wireless port (transmitter, receiver) used to attach one device to another. noise and cable parasitics, thereby providing greater accuracy and shorter measurement settling time The introduction to this article provides insufficient context for those unfamiliar with the subject matter.
