B1500A is a Windows-based semiconductor device analyzer that integrates capacitance versus voltage (CV) and current versus voltage (IV) measurements. Provides a complete, self-contained and expandable solution for parametric characterization and analysis capable of handling 65 nm lithographies and beyond. Has a 10-slot configuration and supports EasyEXPERT software.  
 
Supports three SMU types:
o High-resolution SMU (HRSMU)
o Medium-power SMU (MPSMU)
o High-power SMU (HPSMU)
 
A multi-frequency capacitance measurement unit is also available, and a 4.2 amp ground unit is included.
 
Besides integrating CV measurement into the device analyzer mainframe, the MFCMU can measure capacitance at up to 5 MHz and provide ± 25 V of DC bias. The combination of the MFCMU and SMUs within the same instrument enables these measurement resources to be more tightly coupled. When joined using the SMU CMU Unify Unit, supports capacitance measurement with ± 100 V of DC bias.
 
SCUU connects the two SMUs and the MFCMU together and can switch between the measurement resources without using a separate external switching matrix. Software handles all of the IV-CV switching, compensation and return path issues.
 
Can be used for a range of characterization needs for semiconductor devices and emerging materials, including nanotechnology devices.
