The Perfect Tools for C-V Measurements


Micromanipulator provides a series of Application Notes to troubleshoot problems and discuss products as well as to go further in-depth on probing applications such as C-V, or Capacitance-Voltage measurement.  C-V is a probing technique that varies the voltage in order to measure the capacitance.  Historically C-V has been used to detect mobile ion contamination in oxide, which takes the form of sodium ions.  Since we know sodium is extremely mobile and can migrate within the device structure, often devices that had passed the final test in the factory, failed in the field.   

As industry leaders, Micromanipulator has developed a solution that provides a highly accurate test environment for C-V measurements with our 8060 (150-200mm) High Performance Manual Probe Station.  Offering the highest performance available in a 6 – 8” (150 – 200mm) manual analytical probe station, the 8060 is designed for ease of use in demanding applications.  Some of these include very low current and voltage probing, high and low temperature probing, and sub-micron target probing to the limits of visible optics. 

Furthermore, it can be configured with an integrated environment that supports dark – shielded – dry probing.  When you take into account the price-performance, high efficiency features and low cost of ownership, the 8060 probe station provides system users with a cost-effective solution for high performance analytical probing. 

Micromanipulator also manufactures the H1000 Thermal System that offers a single chuck with a temperature range of -65° C to 400° C.    In addition we have a standard LTE (light tight enclosure) that rests on the anti-vibration isolation and completely encompasses the test station or an integrated shielded environment.  Please visit our website or contact our engineers to learn more about our products and which ones are best suited for C-V measurement testing.  

Micromanipulator not only invented analytical probing in 1956 but we are leaders in the field and reliably deliver the tools and life cycle support the semi-conductor industry depends on. Our company’s philosophy and what drives our success is an unfaltering commitment to our customers’ satisfaction.
