FACILITIES - RF DEVICES

The laboratory of RF devices is dedicated to the characterization of semiconductor materials and sub-micrometer devices up to microwave frequencies. Our tools allow to perform several kind of on-wafer measurements from DC and pulsed characterization, to RF and electronic noise (up to 43.5 GHz).

Cascade M150 probe station

The M150 is an easy ise manual probe platform for wafers and substrates up to 150 mm. Pre-configured application-focused probing solutions to achieve accurate measurement results, with maximum confidence. 

Tektronix RSA5126A

Real Time Spectrum Analyzer - (1Hz to 26.5GHz), The RSA5126A mid-range spectrum analyzer combines the best-in-class RF performance with up to 165 MHz bandwidth and 4th Generation DPX® Technology. This provides the measurement confidence and functionality you demand for everyday tasks and gives you the dynamic range you expect for challenging spectrum analysis measurements.

VNA Agilent N5244B PNA-X

The PNA-X network analyzer series provides the widest range of measurement applications for amplifiers, converters, antennas, or mixers with a single connection. You can choose from four frequency models to meet your specific device test needs: 13.5, 26.5, 43.5, and 50 GHz. The PNA-X provides unrivaled configurability with a built-in second source, combiner, and internal signal-routing switches.

Keithley 4200A-SCS

The 4200A-SCS is a modular, fully integrated parameter analyzer that performs electrical characterization of materials, semiconductor devices and processes. From basic I-V and C-V measurement sweeps to advanced ultra-fast pulsed I-V, waveform capture, and transient I-V measurements, the 4200A-SCS provides the researcher or engineer with critical parameters needed for design, development or production.

DiVA D265

The DiVA D265 is a dual-channel synchronous pulse source measurement unit, capable of providing pulse widths down to 200ns along with a dc (static) measurement capability. The D265 provides output voltages up to +65V from the drain or collector channel with a maximum current of 2A. The D265 also provides both positive and negative current drive or voltage drive at the gate or base port. This flexible arrangement allows characterization of Bipolar and HBT devices (NPN), FETs and HEMTs.
