Free Keithley Web-Based Seminar Explores Tips, Tricks, and Traps of Semiconductor C-V Testing

Keithley Instruments, Inc., a world leader in advanced electrical test instruments and systems, will broadcast a free, web-based seminar titled "Tips, Tricks, and Traps of Semiconductor Capacitance-Voltage (C-V) Testing" on Thursday, April 26, 2012. This one-hour seminar is designed to help laboratory engineers implement, troubleshoot, and verify C-V measurement systems and will address the keys to getting good C-V measurement results. To register for this event, visit www.keithley.com/events/semconfs/webseminars.

The subjects to be discussed include C-V test system setup techniques and results from some extended C-V applications. The seminar will address a variety of topics related to C-V measurements:

• Connecting a C-V instrument properly to a probe station
• Using common cable correction techniques
• Verifying system performance at the probe tips
• Identifying and troubleshooting typical C-V measurement errors
• Implementing extended C-V applications, such as high voltage, quasi-static and very low frequency (VLF) C-V test

This seminar is recommended for anyone whose job involves 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 attending this seminar.
