WEBCAST: How To Get The Most From Your Low-Current Measurement Instruments

March 19, 2010

If you're not sure that you're getting the best results from low-current measurements, this seminar is for you. Keithley's John Tucker takes you through the basics of low-current measurements, best practices for ensuring success, and application examples.

David Maliniak

This seminar describes the basics of low current (from nA to fA) electrical measurements, including how to select the right current measurement instrument, practical ways to reduce current noise in measurement setups, and how to quantify subtle sources of noise. These measurement best practices are important for applications in semiconductor material/device characterization, nanoscience test and measurement, optoelectronic device characterization, and many more. Application examples where such sensitive measurements are required will be discussed, together with a discussion of recent innovative test equipment solutions.

By participating in this seminar, you will learn and understand:

Measurement techniques required for measuring very small currents
Sources of measurement error that will affect such low current measurements
Measurement solutions that can be used in low current measurement applications

Presenter: John Tucker is the Senior Marketer for Keithley’s Scientific Research Instruments and Research and Education business at Keithley Instruments in Cleveland, Ohio.
