Laboratory for optoelectrical characterization of materials

The laboratory for optoelectrical characterization is equipped with different setups for the electrical characterization of semiconductor materials, devices, and structures in the temperature range of -190 to 600 °C. The electrical characterization equipment consists of Source Measure Units for current-voltage (I-V) measurements (with fA resolution), a capacitance–voltage (C-V) module for AC impedance measurements, and a setup for the measurement of gas-sensing properties.

Equipment:

Setup 1:

  • CRYO600-190-OP4-VB (SIMTRUM: Temperature Control Range from -190 to 600 °C; 4x adjustable probes; capable of fA level measurements; probe displacement accuracy- 1μm)
  • Parameter analyzer 4200A-SCS-PKA (Keithley: 3x I-V Source Measure Units; 100 fA measurement resolution; 10 aA measurement resolution with preamplifier)
  • Tunable monochromatic light sources (Quantum Design: 150 W Xe-Arc Lamp; monochromator MSZ-100)

Setup 2:

  • E4990A impedance analyzers (KEYSIGHT: 20 Hz-10 MHz)

Setup 3:

  • LN cryostat with cryogenic temperature controller Lake Shore 330,340 (temperature control range from -190 to 150 °C)
  • High-temperature probe station for the measurement of gas-sensing properties (SIMTRUM: Temperature Control Range from RT to 600 °C; 4x triaxial probes; capable of pA level measurements)
  • Setup for the measurement of gas-sensing properties at RT (in-house designed: test chamber, sensor holder, and mass flow controllers MV304 and MV302)

Setup 4:

    • Four-point Probe Station (Ossila)
