Introduction
The Keithley Instruments Model 4200A-SCS Setup and Maintenance is a customizable and
fully-integrated parameter analyzer that provides synchronized insight into current-voltage (I-V),
capacitance-voltage (C-V), and ultra-fast pulsed I-V characterization. The highest performance
parameter analyzer, the 4200A-SCS accelerates semiconductor, materials, and process
development.
The 4200A-SCS Clarius
TM
GUI-based software provides clear, uncompromised measurement and
analysis capability. Furnished with embedded measurement expertise and hundreds of ready-to-use
application tests, Clarius enables you to dig deeper into your research with speed and confidence.
The 4200A-SCS offers the most advanced capabilities available in a fully integrated characterization
system, including a complete, embedded computer with Microsoft
