- Description
- This product is a unit that is a combined constant current source and digital voltameter. The user can input the desired level of constant current or choose a simple auto ranging function. The unit is used in conjunction with a four-point probe and readings can be used to determine the resistivity of semiconductor samples, typically silicon wafers or thin metal layers. Generally used in research applications the unit can be operated as a standalone unit or can be controlled by a PC using supplied software or by the user writing a program to operate it as required. The unit can also display results from measurements as voltage, as a sheet resistance in ohms per square, or as a resistivity in ohm.cm. Also offering currents between 10nA and 100mA and cannot be adjusted to offer higher or lower currents.
