B1500A Product Configuration
Product line up of the B1500A series
• MCSMU module (B1500A-A1A or A1B)
50 s pulse Medium current source/monitor unit module. Occupies one slot.
• MFCMU module (B1500A-A20)
Multi frequency capacitance measurement unit module. Occupies one slot. Needs
Agilent N1301A-100 SCUU to perform automatic switching of the measurement
resources connection.
• HVSPGU module (B1500A-A25)
High voltage semiconductor pulse generator unit module. Occupies one slot. Up to five
modules can be installed in one B1500A mainframe. One module provides two output
channels. Needs Agilent 16440A (B1500A-A04) and 16445A to perform automatic
switching of the measurement resources connection.
• WGFMU module and RSU (B1500A-A30, A31)
Waveform generator/fast measurement unit module and the remote-sense and switch
unit. Occupies one slot. Up to five modules can be installed in one B1500A mainframe.
One module provides two channels.
• 16440A SMU/PGU pulse generator selector (B1500A-A04)
Used to switch the measurement resource connected to the DUT. The measurement
resource can be HV SPGU or SMU. Needs the 16445A adapter to use the selector. One
selector provides two switching channel.
• 16442B test fixture (B1500A-A5F)
Test fixture for semiconductor parameter analyzers and device analyzers. Provides
three Kelvin triaxial connectors (six non-Kelvin triaxial connectors) for connecting
SMU, six BNC connectors for connecting HV SPGU, MFCMU, or other instruments, a
GNDU connector, and an Intlk connector. Furnished with the dual-in-line package
socket module, universal socket modules (two types), blank PTFE on board, and
connection wires for device connection.
• 16445A selector adapter (B1500A-A04)
Used to connect the 16440A selector (B1500A-A04) to the B1500A. Two selectors can
be connected.
• E5288A ASU (B1500A-A28 or A29)
Atto sense and switch unit (ASU). Used to enable the 1 pA range for the atto level
current measurement, also switch the measurement resource connected to the DUT.
The measurement resource can be HRSMU/MPSMU or the instrument connected to
the AUX terminal.
• N1255A 2 channel connection box for MCSMU
Connection box to make the MCSMU connection easy. Supports two MCSMU.
• N1301A-100 SCUU
SMU CMU unify unit (SCUU). Used to switch the measurement resource connected to
the DUT. The measurement resource can be CMU or one of two SMUs connected to
the SCUU.
