Description
A transistor curve, a capacitance sweep and a pulsed memory test usually mean three separate setups. The Keysight B1500A semiconductor device analyzer combines them in one ten-slot mainframe. Lost in HCM lists it for rental and sale, so a lab can rent for a research window or buy for a process line.
One mainframe, several kinds of measurement
Modules do the work, so the configuration shapes the result. Precision source measure units handle IV. A capacitance module handles CV, and a fast waveform module handles pulses and transients. Automated IV and CV switching cuts recabling, so results repeat better. EasyEXPERT group+ adds ready-to-use device and reliability test libraries.

Installed modules and options change what a delivered unit can do. Therefore the quote and serial-number configuration decide the final capability.
Research it supports
Transistor and diode IV and CV characterization is the classic use. Power-device and wide-bandgap material research follows, since the voltage and current ranges are wide. Memory teams run endurance and pulsed tests on the fast modules. Wafer-level reliability and process development also fit the platform.
Why configuration matters
Two units with the same model name can behave differently. One may hold several SMUs for DC work, while another adds the capacitance and fast waveform modules. The Keysight B1500A semiconductor device analyzer therefore needs a written module list in every request. Also say which probe station and cables you will use, because low-current work depends on the whole signal path.
List the modules before you ask
Name the SMUs, the capacitance and waveform modules, the switching accessories, the probe station and the software version. Then add the dates and your location. Next, request a quote from Lost in HCM. The semiconductor test category shows related instruments. For official data, see the Keysight website, or contact SMK Vietnam.
B1500A questions
How many module slots does it have?
It has ten slots for the modules you choose.
What is needed for 0.1 fA resolution?
The listing says it depends on an appropriate configuration, so confirm the modules in the quote.
Which module covers capacitance?
The MFCMU covers CV work from 1 kHz to 5 MHz.
