HP 4156A Precision Semiconductor Parameter Analyzer

Product Summary

The HP 4155A and HP 4156A are the next generation in precision semiconductor parameter analyzers. Now you get the best digital sweep parameter analyzer plus a reliability tester, powerful failure analysis tool, and automated incoming inspection station all rolled into a single instrument.

The HP 4155A and HP 4156A were explicitly designed to provide unprecedented accuracy and functionality for evaluating your sub-micron geometry devices. With one flexible instrument, you can improve your semiconductor quality starting from material evaluation and device characterization all the way through final packaged part inspection and field failure analysis.

The HP parametric analyzers are configured to expand from a one-box solution to an integrated automated measurement system complete with low leakage switch, prober support, and Windows-based software for maximum accuracy, productivity, and ease-of-use.

Product Features

• Develop new process technologies and evaluate materials with measurements to 1fA and 1uV

• Automatically extract process parameters without manually manipulating screen markers

• Device Characterization
  • Measure leakage characteristics with ultra-low leakage SMUs

  • Automate device characterization with integrated pulse generators and selector switches

• HP IBASIC user functions allow data to be plotted and analyzed

• Perform on-wafer reliability tests with built-in stressing modes

• Failure Analysis
  • Knob sweep function quickly verifies each probe is making proper contact

  • Stand-by mode eliminates the need for external power supplies

  • Triggering modes allow synchronized AC/DC measurements
