IMEP-LAHC recently purchased a 300 mm manual prober station with a high-quality Faraday cage. The equipment will be used to characterize the low-frequency noise (a few mHz to 10 kHz) of transistors and microelectronic components like photodiodes. The Faraday cage offers much better electromagnetic isolation (especially from electrical wiring) than the dark boxes widely used […] >>
