The Four point probe is manufactured by Jandel Engineering Limited and using Jandel probe head and the RM3000+ Test Unit which can supply constant current between 10nA and 99.99mA, and measure voltage from 0.01mV to 1250mV. | The Four point probe is manufactured by Jandel Engineering Limited and using Jandel probe head and the RM3000+ Test Unit which can supply constant current between 10nA and 99.99mA, and measure voltage from 0.01mV to 1250mV. | ||
For sheet resistance measurements, the quoted range is 1 milliohm/square to 5x108 ohms/square. Measurements outside this range are possible but with possible reduced accuracy. For volume (bulk) resistivity measurements, the quoted range is 1 milliohm.cm to 1x106 ohm.cm. Measurements outside of this range may be possible but will depend on sample type e.g. whether the sample is a thin layer. | For sheet resistance measurements, the quoted range is 1 milliohm/square to 5x108 ohms/square.

Multiposition Probe stand can measure on wafers up to 200mm diameter. The Θ movement clicks in four positions at 90 degrees and the linear movement in up to 10 positions giving repeat placement accuracy of +/- 1mm. | Multiposition Probe stand can measure on wafers up to 200mm diameter.

The Four-Point Probe is a Veeco FPP-5000 for I/V measurement. The main purpose is to measure resistance and resistivity on a 4" silicon wafer. But can also be used to find thickness of thin layers or test if is a N- or P-type wafer. | The Four-Point Probe is a Veeco FPP-5000 for I/V measurement.

The wafer are pushed down on the four pins so a measurement is performed. It works only for 4" wafers because a special holder is need. | The wafer are pushed down on the four pins so a measurement is performed. It works only for 4" wafers because a special holder is need. | ||
