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 in Ultra-Fast I-V Semiconductor Characterization” on Thursday, March 22. The seminar will be broadcast twice, at 10:00 EDT (14:00 UTC) and 2:00 PM EDT (18:00 UTC). To register for this event, visit www.keithley.com/events/semconfs/webseminars.

This online seminar will help laboratory engineers implement, troubleshoot, and verify ultra-fast I-V measurement systems, including pulsed I-V and transient I-V systems. The seminar will provide insights on getting good measurements, including tips on system setup, typical measurement limitations, and results from some actual devices.

Those participating in this seminar will learn how to connect an ultra-fast I-V system to a probe station properly. Other topics to be covered include common problems encountered when a system is not properly cabled, guidance on performance verification at the probe tips, limitations in ultra-fast I-V testing, including Johnson noise and other noise sources, and typical examples of ultra-fast I-V characterization of sample devices.

Test engineers and system designers whose job requires performing characterization measurements should attend this seminar. Students, technicians, engineers, and lab managers who are responsible for installing and maintaining characterization equipment and probe stations will also benefit from this seminar.

Katie Wright, the seminar’s presenter, joined Keithley Instruments, Inc. in 2011 as a product marketing manager for the Semiconductor Business Group. Her previous experience in Product Marketing, Applications, and RF Design were with Ultra Electronics, Bird Technologies, and Agilent. She has a bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from South Dakota School of Mines & Technology and a master’s degree in Engineering Management from Florida Institute of Technology.
