Introduction
   Keysight B1500A Semiconductor Device Analyzer of Precision Current-Voltage Analyzer Series is an all in one analyzer supporting IV, CV, pulse/dynamic IV and more, which is designed for all-round characterization from basic to cutting-edge applications. It provides a wide range of measurement capabilities to cover the electrical characterization and evaluation of devices, materials, semiconductors, active/passive components, or virtually any other type of electronic device with uncompromised measurement reliability and efficiency. In addition, the B1500A’s modular architecture with ten available slots allows you to add or upgrade measurement modules if your measurement needs change over time.

Basic Features
Measurement capabilities:
Current versus voltage (IV) measurement
– Accurate and precise measurement ranges of 0.1 fA - 1 A and 0.5 µV - 200 V
– Spot and sweep measurement
– Time sampling measurements (100 µs minimum sampling rate)
– Pulsed measurement with minimum pulse widths of 50 µs using the MCSMU or
   500 µs using the HPSMU, MPSMU, or HRSMU
– The ASU (atto-sense and switch unit) can be used with the MPSMU, or HRSMU
   to provide 0.1 fA measurement resolution and SMU/AUX path switching
– Two analog-to-digital converter choices (high-resolution ADC or high-speed ADC)
   available for each SMU type (HPSMU, MPSMU and HRSMU)

Capacitance measurement
– Multi-frequency AC impedance measurement supports CV (capacitance versus
   voltage), C-t (capacitance versus time) and C-f (capacitance versus frequency)
   measurement
– Capacitance measurement frequency range of 1 kHz to 5 MHz
– Quasi-Static Capacitance-Voltage (QS-CV) measurement with leakage current
   compensation
– Automated switching between IV and CV measurements using either the optional
   SCUU (SMU CMU unify unit) and GSWU (guard switch unit) or a pair of ASUs
