What kinds of measurement challenges do your nanotechnology applications present?

Nanotechnology research is advancing so rapidly that many scientists find that their existing measurement tools simply lack the sensitivity or resolution needed to characterize low level signals effectively. Others are scrambling to keep up with the rapid changes in measurement requirements that new discoveries create. No matter which challenge you're facing, Keithley can help.

During device development, structures like single electron transistors (SETs), sensors, and other experimental devices often display unique properties. Characterizing these properties without damaging one-of-a-kind structures requires systems that provide tight control over sourcing to prevent device self-heating. Keithley instrumentation combines this tight control with exceptional measurement speed and sensitivity in flexible, modular architectures that make it easy to adapt to changing test requirements.

 

Experimental nanostructures can't take the heat?
