This blog post presents the questions and answers raised during the DLTS User Meeting 2023. The meeting intended to bring together the community who may face common measurement challenges and allow them to share knowledge and expertise.

This blog post shows the ease of set-up of the MFIA to measure capacitive transients for self-build DLTS. The combination of MFIA plus third-party temperature stage brings the possibility to tune your DLTS measurement parameters to suit your sample. Home-building your DLTS system with the MFIA gives you flexibility and the freedom to choose the test signal amplitude, frequency and even the mode of stressing pulse. 

Drive level capacitance profiling (DLCP) is a powerful technique to accurately determine the charge carrier density in semiconductors when deep level states are present. It is often considered an improvement over the widely applied characterization technique known as capacitance-voltage (C-V) profiling...

The MFIA is a high-precision impedance analyzer that can run measurements in either 2-terminal or 4-terminal mode. What is the right setting for your measurement? This blog post addresses this question and explains how to use the MFIA to its full capability...

In electrochemistry, the characteristics of a given process can be assessed by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). A semicircle in the Nyquist plot usually corresponds to electrochemical processes that can be modelled as a parallel connection of a resistor (R) and a capacitor (C). The diameter of the semicircle provides the value of R, while the associated time constant (also known as relaxation time) is given by RC...

The MFIA is a high-precision impedance analyzer. It measures voltage, current and phase to calculate impedance. As is the case for most impedance analyzers, the measurement circuit is designed so that the device under test (DUT) is operated under floating conditions, which means that none of the terminals of the DUT is connected to the ground...

Swiss chocolates are famous worldwide thanks to their high quality of taste. Switzerland is also renowned as the country with the highest chocolate consumption per capita. Today, many popular brands can be found even in the supermarket. Are you curious about what makes the chocolates special? And which non-destructive technique (NDT) can be employed to measure them?

This blog post presents a selection of questions and answers raised during the DLTS User Meeting 2022. The meeting intended to bring together the community who may face common measurement challenges and allow them to share core competencies and know-how.

This blog post accompanies the webinar, which introduced basics of electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and provided practical tips & tricks to measure EIS consistently. We share the recording, additional information and answers to the questions asked by the attendees during the webinar.

This blog post summarizes the latest academic project of Dino, our new Application Scientist Impedance Analysis. He investigated materials for high-temperature fuel cells in Fukuoka, Japan and the results made it to the front cover of Nature Materials. Learn how light can be used to increase the ionic conductivity of standard electrolyte materials for solid oxide fuel cells, and how to measure this effect using the MFIA Impedance Analyzer.
