The comprehensive solution for current-voltage characterisation of a variety of materials and devices is the Keysight E5270B Precision IV Analyzer. Multiple SMUs (Source/Monitor Units) are supported by the E5270B for voltage/current sourcing and measurement, with current measurement capabilities as low as 0.1 fA. You can upgrade or modify SMU modules for the eight available slots thanks to its modular architecture. Your PC is equipped with the EasyEXPERT group+ GUI-based characterisation program, which supports every task needed for the characterization, from setting up the measurement to analyzing the data. The E5270B is the ideal solution for characterization and evaluation of devices, materials, semiconductors, active/passive components, or almost any other type of electronic device with uncompromised measurement reliability and efficiency thanks to its powerful integration of SMU's versatile measurement capabilities and GUI-based characterization software.
Through interactive manual operation or automation across a wafer in combination with a semiautomatic wafer probe, Keysight EasyEXPERT group+ facilitates effective and repeatable device characterization throughout the whole characterization process, from measurement setup and execution to analysis and data management. With its ready-to-use measurements (application tests) and the ability to store test conditions and measurement data automatically after each measurement in a special built-in database (workspace), EasyEXPERT group+ makes it simple to perform current-voltage characterization right away. This ensures that important information is not lost and that measurements can be repeated at a later time. With these flexible features, the Keysight E5270B offers the whole solution for current-voltage characterization.
The E5270B is offered as a system component SMU for a rack and stuck test system in addition to being used as an analyzer. It offers the best measurement accuracy and scalability in the current-voltage measuring class. The FLEX command set, which supports the robust measuring capabilities, allows for remote control.
