To enable measurement of DUTs of different sizes, three types of contact boards with different distances between the electrodes are available as options. Contact boards are available for use with 16043A and 16043B. To distinguish the contact board types, figures are imprinted on the boards.
Operation This chapter describes preparations, fixture preparations, and fixture compensation when using the 16043A/B to take measurements as well as DUT connection and measurement methods.
Operation Flow of Measurements Flow of Measurements Follow the steps below when taking DUT measurements with the 16043A/B. 1. Preparation for Measurement Create a device guide and short bar to fit the shape of the DUT to be measured. Also create a short bar that matches the size and shape of the DUT to be measured.
Operation Preparations for Measurement Preparations for Measurement Fabricating the Device Guide The device hole in the device guide determines the position when the DUT or short bar is placed on the electrodes of the contact board. Consequently, measuring with a device hole that does not match the shape of the DUT will prevent proper contact between the DUT and the electrodes and correct measurement will not be accomplished.
Preparations for Measurement Creating the Short Bar Short bars are not furnished with the 16043A/B. Create a short bar that matches the size and shape of the DUT to be measured. The short bar is used to compensate for the same amount of residual short as when the DUT is measured.
To accommodate various sizes and shapes of DUTs, three types of contact boards are optionally available for 16043A and 16043B. While referring to Chapter 2 “Contact Board” on page 23, select a contact board that fits the DUT to be measured. The contact board is mounted in different ways for the 16043A and 16043B.
Operation Selecting and Mounting the Contact Board Mounting the 16043B Contact Board Step 1. Remove the screws from the two positions on the upper part of the fixture and remove the device holder block. Figure 3-4 Remove the Device Holder Bolck Step 2.
Page 31
Operation Selecting and Mounting the Contact Board CAUTION Do not touch the electrodes with hands or damage them in any way as this could adversely affect the measuring precision and repeatability. Step 3. Tighten the screws to secure the contact board. Step 4.
Step 1. In the case of the 16043A, move the sliding mechanism all the way back. Step 2. Place the device guide on the contact board and insert the guide pin into the guide hole to align the position.
Also, when the 16043A is to be used for load capacity measurement, fixture compensation is necessary to ensure more accurate measurements. For the electrode used for load capacity measurement, take measurements of the data for open compensation and of the data for short compensation.
For normal guard measurement using the 16043A/B, short the electrode's H terminal and the L terminal on the contact board. When measuring load capacity using the 16043A, short the electrode connected to the H terminal and the L terminal on the contact board and make the insulator part contact the G terminal as shown in Figure 3-9.

Operation Connecting and Measuring DUT Connecting and Measuring DUT Connect the DUT to the electrodes and take measurements. Step 1. Using tweezer, align the DUT with the device guide and place on the electrodes. Figure 3-10 Connecting a DUT Step 2. Lower the device holder and turn it counterclockwise to lock and hold the DUT in place. NOTE The force with which the DUT is secured can be adjusted using the device holder pressure regulating screw.
Operation Connecting and Measuring DUT Measuring a 3-terminal Device The 16043A enables measurement of all the constituent elements of a 3-terminal device. Figure 3-11 3-terminal Device To measure all the constituent elements of a 3-terminal device, use the sliding mechanism to move the measurement stage to change the electrode of the contact board to which the DUT is connected.
