But how do we actually obtain these curves and why are they so important? In this webinar, we’ll introduce what I-V characterization is, what instruments to use and demonstrate real-world examples of tests. You’ll leave with a foundational knowledge of basic characterization and an idea of how to scale up to more complex tests in the future.</p> <p>Some of the topics we'll explore are what you'll need from your instrument when doing IV characterization, considerations for terminal devices,  and pro-tips for IV Characterizations.   There will also be a demo followed by a Q&A session.   </p> <h2>What You Will Learn By Attending</h2> <ul> <li>What is IV Characterization?</li> <li>What do you need from your instrument when doing IV Characterization? <ul> <li>Power supply + DMM</li> <li>Why is an SMU better <ul> <li>Sourcing current/voltage + measuring</li> <li>Current resolution</li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> <li>Considerations for 2 terminal devices <ul> <li>Diode</li> <li>What kinds of test (vfd, vrd)</li> </ul> </li> <li>Considerations for 3 or 4 terminal devices <ul> <li>MOSFET</li> <li>What kinds tests (vds-id, vgs-id, ig-vg)</li> <li>Synchronizing steps and sweeps</li> <li>Making multichannel synchronization easy with Kickstart or 4200A</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <ul> <li>Pro-tips for I-V Characterization <ul> <li>Mixing up terminals <ul> <li>Get a labeled test fixture or use switching if you’re changing configurations a lot</li> </ul> </li> <li>Self-heating <ul> <li>Use pulsed measurements</li> </ul> </li> </ul> </li> </ul> <p></p> <h2 id="mcetoc_1gomem3qi4">Attend and Learn to Earn a Certificate</h2> <p><img loading="lazy" alt="image" class="align-left" style="float:left;max-height:168px;max-width:217px;" src="/resized-image/__size/434x336/__key/telligent-evolution-extensions-calendar-calendarfiles/00-00-00-00-71/certificateNEW.png" />Following this presentation there will be a short quiz to test your knowledge.  Complete the quiz and watch the presentation either live or On Demand to earn a certificate:</p> <p>- View at least 30 minutes of the presentation</p> <p>- Score a 100% on the quiz</p> <p>Read here for more information about how to get your certificate: <a href="/members-area/support/w/site-faq/27798/how-do-i-earn-a-certificate-for-viewing-a-webinar-or-webcast">/members-area/support/w/site-faq/27798/how-do-i-earn-a-certificate-for-viewing-a-webinar-or-webcast</a> </p> <p></p> <p></p> <h3></h3> <h3></h3> <h2 id="mcetoc_1gvccrk7i0">The Presenter</h2> <p><img loading="lazy" alt="image" class="align-left" style="float:left;max-height:151px;max-width:227px;" src="/resized-image/__size/454x302/__key/telligent-evolution-extensions-calendar-calendarfiles/00-00-00-00-71/Headshot5.jpg" /></p> <p>Elizabeth Makley, Applications Engineer at Keithley Instruments</p> <p>Elizabeth is an Applications Engineer supporting Keithley's digital multimeter, data acquisition, switching and sensitive product lines.
