Cleveland, Ohio?Keithley Instruments, Inc. (NYSE: KEI), a world leader in advanced electrical test instruments and systems, broadcasted a free webinar titled “How to Get the Most from Your Low Current Measurement Instruments” on Thursday, November 19, 2009. This one-hour web-based seminar discussed the basics of low current (from n/A to fA) electrical measurements, including how to select the best current measurement instrument, practical ways to reduce current noise in measurement setups, and how to quantify subtle sources of noise. Those who participated in this seminar learned:
? Measurement techniques required for measuring very small currents
? Sources of measurement error that will affect such low current measurements
? Measurement solutions that can be used in low current measurement applications
These measurement best practices are important for applications in semiconductor material/device characterization, nanoscience test and measurement, optoelectronic device characterization, and many more. Applications examples where such sensitive measurements are required were discussed, together with a discussion of recent innovative test equipment solutions.
?How to Get the Most from Your Low Current Measurement Instruments? is recommended for researchers, engineers, and scientists in areas such as materials science, chemistry, nanoscience, and semiconductor device development who wish to get a better understanding of low current electrical measurements. Presenter Jonathan Tucker is the senior marketer for Keithley?s research and education business and sensitive measurements product line manager. He joined Keithley in 1987 and has held numerous positions. Tucker holds a Bachelor of Electrical Engineering degree from Cleveland State University and an MBA from Kent State University. The event was free to the public, but advance registration was required at www.keithley.com/events/semconfs/webseminars. The webinar is also archived on Keithley’s website for those who were unable to attend the original broadcast.
