The Characterization Group is responsible both for product and process measurement and modelling. Products can be characterized over the full range of voltage , frequency and temperature (-50 to 200C) The laboratory comprises 150 square meters of dedicated floor space with two fully automated Cascade 12K probers plus a Karl Suss analytical station . Measurement resolution is better than 50fA, 1fF and a range of network analyzers enables us to characterize up to 50 GHz.
The department is staffed by engineers all holding higher degrees in Physics or Electronics and is actively engaged with the universities in the production of novel engineering solutions and the generation of academic papers.
