What are the advantages/disadvantages of using a C-V station with Mercury contact ?
Typically the C-V station is composed of a standard probe station (contact is made thru the needles to a metal pad). That probe station is linked to some instruments (Agilent, Anritsu, Keithley…) which will input the necessary signals including the sine wave signals at variable frequency used to excitate the electrons onto the layer and measure the capacitance at different voltage. The C-V station is relatively complex as linking several instruments manufactured by different companies and not purposely made for being stacked together in order to offer the smallest footprint. Within these configurations, still widely used by the characterization labs, MW does offer a few things, various models of probe stations, meters…Our close relation with instrumentation manufacturers allows us to provide a complete turn-key solution. Talking of Mercury probe is a different subject and actually easier in the sense that the mercure itself does create the contact on the measured layer. There is no nee
