Automatic description (AI-Generated)

The HP/Agilent 4156C Precision Semiconductor Parameter Analyzer is a high-accuracy laboratory instrument designed for advanced device characterization. It features a front panel equipped with a screen, multiple buttons, and a large yellow knob for marker and cursor control, facilitating precise operation. The unit also includes a floppy disk drive slot below the screen for data storage or transfer. The front panel display shows some visible smudges or marks, and a sticker on the bottom right corner indicates that the unit is used.

This analyzer integrates four high-resolution Source Measure Units (SMUs), two Voltage Source Units (VSUs), and two Voltage Measurement Units (VMUs), allowing for comprehensive semiconductor parameter measurements. It offers exceptional measurement resolution, capable of detecting currents as low as 1 femtoamp and voltages down to 0.2 microvolts. The device supports various measurement modes, including Quasi-Static Capacitance-Voltage (QSCV), Stress Mode, Knob-sweep, and Stand-by functions.

The 41501B Expander unit complements the 4156C by expanding its capabilities to handle higher power measurements, with ±200 volts and ±1 amp output capacity. It includes two optional pulse generator units (PGUs) and a 1.6A ground unit. The expander plugs into the rear of the 4156C, and its resources are automatically recognized and integrated into the instrument's channel definition system. This expander is particularly useful for tasks such as Write/Erase endurance testing on Flash memory and other non-volatile memory cells.

Together, the 4156C and 41501B offer a flexible and powerful solution for semiconductor device testing and characterization, suitable for laboratory environments requiring precise and versatile measurement capabilities.

Seller's description

Precision semiconductor parameter analyzer

The Keysight 4156C Precision Semiconductor Parameter Analyzer is a highly accurate laboratory bench top solution for advanced device characterization. The 41501B Expander extends your capabilities to 1A/200V, and add a low noise
ground unit and dual pulse generators on the 4156C

General features
 Highly accurate laboratory bench top parameter analyzer for advanced device characterization
 4x High-resolution SMU, 2xVSU and 2xVMU
 Fill-in-the blanks front panel operation
 Includes Desktop EasyEXPERT software for PC-based GUI instrument control
 Measurement capabilities
 1 femtoamp and 0.2 microvolt measurement resolution
 QSCV, Stress Mode, Knob-sweep, Stand-by function
 +/- 200 Volts and +/- 1 Amp High-Power SMU, Pulse Generator capabilities available by optional 41501B

___________________________________

The Keysight 41501B SMU and Pulse Generator Expander unit is available to augment the measurement capabilities of the 4155C and 4156C. The 41501B plugs into the rear of the 4155C/4156C, and its additional measurement resources are automatically recognized by the 4155C/4156C during boot-up. These additional resources appear in the
4155C/4156C “Channels: Channel Definition” page and they are treated exactly the same as the measurement
resources of the 4155C/4156C.

The 41501B PGUs can be used with the 16440A SMU/PGU selector to perform Write/Erase endurance testing on Flash memory cells and other types of non-volatile memory cells. The 41501B HPSMU can source/sink up to 1 A of current and supply up to +/-200 V of voltage.

General features
 Flexible resource expander unit for the 4155C and 4156C
 2 pulse generator units (PGUs) are available as an option
 1 high-power SMU or 2 medium-power SMUs are available as an option
 1.6A ground unit included in all 41501B configurations
