CS-3100 (3,000V, HC Mode Not Equipped Semiconductor Curve Tracer)


Brand: Iwatsu
Model Series: CS Series

About Product

The Iwatsu CS Series Semiconductor Curve Tracers are the newest curve tracers which can support from the maximum peak 3,000V/400A to 15,000V/8,000A. They can be used not only for characteristics measurement of high-voltage or high-current power devices such as the latest IGBT and power MOSFET but also for characteristics measurement of various semiconductor devices such as transistors, diode, and LEDs, as well as capacitance measurement of devices for power electronics such as SiC and GaN (option CS-603A/CS-605A). The measurement results can be saved in the memory or sent to the PC through the USB port and LAN interfaces which are provided as standard.

  • CS-810 is an optional software application that controls curve tracers, scanners, hotplates performing measurement and thereby automates the measurement. This makes improvement great in work efficiency
    • Automates:  Measurement → Recording → Improvements in efficiency to replace task that was traditionally performed manually (See photo section)
    • Switches automatically multiple-semiconductor modules and discrete devices to be targeted when you perform measurement
    • Hotplates are also remote-controllable, so automatic measurement of 6 in 1 module can be performed too

Product Application

  • Characteristic measurement of high-voltage or high-current power devices such as IGBT and power MOSFET and semiconductor devices such as transistors, diode, and LEDs
  • Capacitance measurement of devices for power electronics such as SiC and GaN (Option CS-603A/CS-605A)

  • Measurement of static characteristics (leakage current, saturation voltage, VF, Vth, etc.) (See photo section)
  • The measurement function for the transfer characteristics (Vge-Ic/Vge-Vce) and circuit modules
  • Measurement of devices
    • Multiple devices measurement and recordings can be performed in a short time. Operators just need to input sample name according to the device replacements and connection changes to repeat the same measurements. Judgments (Pass/Fail) at conditions given will be shown for each measurement and images and waveforms data also will be stored automatically (See photo section)
  • Evaluation of semiconductor temperature characteristics measurement
    • CS-810 controls hotplates too. Even measurement that takes a long time such as per temperature can also be performed automatically (See photo section)
  • Stress test
    • A wide variety of parameters can be incorporated in stress test. The CS-810 Software supports long-time reliability tests. While the software monitors the voltage and the current via curve traces, differences of those traces are logged. Auto measurement of a wide variety of parameters is available for the stress test as illustrated below. The biasing will stop in excess of the limit value which is set for current or voltage as a lower and upper limit. The CS-810 Software measures Ic or Vce (Interval: 10s to 2h) keeping a certain voltage or current (10s to 1,000h) (See photo section)
  • Wafer measurement as devices on wafers can be measured by connecting a prober system (See photo section)
