To Connect the SMU Output
The following figures show connection examples for the SMU output.
Kelvin connections non-Kelvin connections
Use low-noise coaxial cable (Keysight part
number 8121-1191) from the connector to the
prober, socket, or DUT as shown.
To cancel the effects of cable resistance, connect
the Sense line and Force line as close as possible to
the DUT terminal.
To prevent oscillations, do not use cables longer
than 1.5 m.
To make accurate measurements when applying
high currents, extend the guard as far as possible
from the front panel connector to the DUT.
Physically stable the cables with tape.
The following figure is for the connection using
Kelvin triaxial cable. For the connection using
triaxial cable, connect the cable to the Force
terminal only. Measurement data will include
residual resistance from the connection cable.
Use low-noise coaxial cable (Keysight part
number 8121-1191).
To make accurate measurements when applying
high currents, extend the guard as far as possible
from the front panel connector to the DUT.
