Description

The mercury probe, when used with the HP4280A capacitance meter and a simple program, probides a quick, non-destructive C-V measurement, but it must be performed on a sample with a minimum radius of 2 cm to prevent mercury leakage. Used with the Signatone probing station the HP4280A provides the ability to measure the capacitance of a structure at the wafer level. The HP4145A Parameter Analyzer and Signatone probe station are set up to carry out the computer controlled measurement of the I-V characteristics of a BJT, FET, or diode.
