Integrating Ultra-Fast Waveform Generation and Measurement with Traditional DC I-V and C-V Measurements

Characterizing a semiconductor device, material, or process thoroughly requires the ability to make three types of measurements. The first two types are the most familiar: precision DC I‐V measurements (typically made with high-precision Source-Measure Units or SMUs) and AC impedance measurements (in the semiconductor industry, often made with a ...

Custom Microwave Subsystem Design Leveraging COTS Methodology

Designing test systems based on commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) instrumentation can reduce non-recurring engineering costs and time to production by providing a reusable infrastructure that is usually based on industry standards. Custom designs can result in high maintenance costs due to premature obsolescence; these implementations often lack adequate documentation required for sustained ...

Test Goes Software Defined

Software-defined instrumentation is the new face of automated test. Scientists and engineers performing leading-edge research and designing custom measurement and control systems have used software-defined instruments, also known as virtual instruments, for more than 20 years. Software-defined instruments were critical for these often one-of-a-kind applications due to their unique system requirements. ...
