Agilent B1500A  
Semiconductor Device Analyzer  
Technical Overview  
Introduction  
The Agilent B1500A Semiconductor  
Device Analyzer with EasyEXPERT  
software is a complete parametric  
test solution. It supports all aspects  
of parametric test, from basic manual  
measurement to test automation across a  
wafer in conjunction with a semiautomatic  
wafer prober. Because the B1500A utilizes  
the Microsoft® Windows® XP Professional  
operating system, it integrates easily into  
your PC-based work environment. Best of  
all, the familiar Windows graphical user  
interface (GUI) and convenient online help  
menus minimize the need for instrument  
training.

terminals when referenced to the Zero  
Check terminal. The B1530A WGFMU  
measurement and output accuracy are  
specified at the output terminal of the RSU.  
Accuracy is specified under the following  
conditions:

Specification conditions  
This document lists specifications and  
supplemental information for the B1500A  
and its associated modules. The specifica-  
tions are the standards against which the  
B1500A and its associated modules are  
tested. When the B1500A and any of its  
associated modules are shipped from the  
factory, they meet the specifications. The  
“supplemental” information and “typical”  
entries in the following specifications are  
not warranted, but provide useful informa-  
tion about the functions and performance  
of the instrument.  
10. WGFMU load capacitance: 25 pF or less  
Note: Agilent Technologies is responsible  
for removing, installing, and replacing the  
B1500A modules. Contact your nearest  
Agilent Technologies to install and  
calibrate the B1500A modules

two SMUs (MPSMUs and/or HRSMUs)  
and the CMU. The SCUU outputs are two  
sets of Kelvin triaꢀial ports (Force and

to act as DC bias sources in conjunction  
with the CMU. Special cables are available  
to connect the SMUs and CMU with  
the SCUU, and an auto-detect feature  
automatically compensates for the cable

WGFMU (waveform generator/fast measurement unit) module specification  
Overview  
Measurement functions, voltage forcing, voltage measurement, and current  
measurement  
The WGFMU is a self-contained module  
offering the combination of arbitrary  
linear waveform generation (ALWG) with  
synchronized fast current or voltage (IV)  
measurement. The ALWG function allows  
you to generate not only DC, but also  
various types of AC waveforms. In addition  
to this versatile sourcing capability, the  
WGFMU can also perform measurement in  
synchronization with the applied wave-  
form, which enables accurate high-speed  
IV characterization.

Current offset cancel  
This function subtracts the offset current  
from the current measurement raw data,  
and returns the result as the measurement

the error factor (offset current) caused  
by the measurement path such as the  
measurement cables, manipulators, or

Agilent Desktop EasyEXPERT software  
Desktop EasyEXPERT is the same  
Prober control  
Supported instruments  
software that is built-in to the PC-based  
Agilent B1500A Semiconductor Device  
Analyzer, eꢀcept that it runs on a stand-  
alone PC. Just like standard EasyEXPERT,  
Desktop EasyEXPERT supports all aspects  
of parametric test, from basic manual  
measurements to test automation across  
a wafer in conjunction with a semi-  
automatic wafer prober.  
All popular semiautomatic wafer probers  
are supported by Desktop EasyEXPERT.  
You can define wafer, die, and module  
information for probing across an entire  
wafer. You can also combine wafer prober  
control with either Quick Test mode or an  
application test based test sequence to  
perform multiple testing on various devices  
across the wafer.  
• B1500A  
• 4155B, 4156B, 4155C, and 4156C  
• Supported 4155/4156 firmware:

Automatic data export  
Features and benefits  
The Desktop EasyEXPERT has the ability  
to automatically eꢀport measurement data  
in real time, in a variety of formats. You  
can save data to any drive connected to  
the PC. If you wish, you can eꢀport data to  
a network drive and view test results on  
your desktop PC as your instruments are  
performing the testing in your lab.  
Large application test library  
Desktop EasyEXPERT comes with over  
200 application tests conveniently  
organized by device type, application, and  
technology. Many of these application  
tests will run on the 4155/4156 without  
modification, and you can easily edit and  
customize the furnished application tests  
to fit your specific needs.  
Desktop EasyEXPERT Plus edition:  
• All eꢀternal instruments supported by  
Desktop EasyEXPERT Standard edition  
• Also supported by switching matriꢀ GUI:

System requirements  
The following are the minimum require-  
ment for eꢀecuting Desktop EasyEXPERT.  
Offline capability  
Desktop EasyEXPERT can be run in either  
online or offline mode. In the offline mode  
you can perform tasks such as analyzing  
data and creating new application tests.  
This frees up your eꢀisting analyzer from  
being needed for development work  
and enables you to use it for its primary  
purpose: making measurements.
