Overview
The Keithley Model 4210-MMPC-W multi-measurement prober cable kit provides a collection of matched
connection accessories. When properly installed, these accessories have the performance needed that allow
current-voltage (I-V), capacitance-voltage (C-V), and pulsed I-V parametric characterization measurements to be
made using a single prober cable setup. This kit is for use with a Wentworth prober.
This prober cable kit requires the Keithley Articulated Arm (Wentworth part number 2026-96509). Contact your
Wentworth representative to obtain the necessary manipulator arm and instructions.
This document contains information about the installation and use of this cable kit:
Model 4200A-SCS instrument connections: Explains how to make connections from the 4200A-SCS to
the bulkhead.
Prober bulkhead to prober pin connections (basic setup): Explains how to make connections from the
prober bulkhead to the prober pins.
Usage scenarios: Provides the following specific prober cable setups:
I-V testing (2-pin and 4-pin)
C-V testing (2-pin and 4-pin)
Pulsed I-V measurements using the Keithley Model 4225-PMU, and the 4225-PMU with the 4225-RPM
Prober cable kit contents
The following figure shows the cables, adapters, and supplies that are included in the Model 4210-MMPC-W
multi-measurement cable kit.
Each 4210-MMPC-W kit supplies the required components to make sense and force connections to
one pin. Additional kits are required to make additional connections.

  • Page 3 Model 4210-MMPC-W Multi-measurement Prober Cable Kit Model 4200A-SCS instrument connections To prevent injury or death due to electric shock, remove all power from the 4200A-SCS and shut down the Wentworth prober before installing the prober cable kit. Connect the Model 4200A-SCS instruments to the triaxial jacks on the prober bulkhead. See the following figure for an example.
  • Page 4 Model 4210-MMPC-W Multi-measurement Prober Cable Kit I-V testing For I-V testing, connect the triaxial cables of the 4200A-SCS source-measure units (SMUs) to the standard triaxial jacks on the bulkhead. The following figure shows the prober connections for two SMUs. The 4200A-SCS to prober portion of the following figure shows SMUs that do not use preamplifiers. These SMUs use triaxial cables that are terminated with a miniature triaxial connector on one end and a standard triaxial connector on the other end.
  • Page 5 Model 4210-MMPC-W Multi-measurement Prober Cable Kit C-V testing You need two prober cable kits to connect the subminiature version A (SMA) cables of the CVU to the triaxial jacks on the bulkhead of the prober. The following figure shows how to make the connections. Use the torque wrench supplied with the 4200A-SCS to tighten the SMA connections to 8 in.
  • Page 6 Model 4210-MMPC-W Multi-measurement Prober Cable Kit Prober bulkhead to prober pin connections The following figure shows the basic cable setup for the 2-pin I-V and 2-pin C-V testing scenarios described in this document. The 4-pin I-V and 4-pin C-V testing scenarios require minor setup changes. Pulsed I-V setup, which is more complex, is described in Usage scenarios (on page 9).
  • Page 7 Model 4210-MMPC-W Multi-measurement Prober Cable Kit Installation guidelines The following figure shows the prober cable assemblies of two 4210-MMPC-W kits installed in a Wentworth prober. To secure the cable assembly to the manipulator: 1. Secure each blue triaxial cable (2) to a manipulator using a single mounting screw (item 1 in the following figure).
  • Page 8 Model 4210-MMPC-W Multi-measurement Prober Cable Kit 3. Route the blue cables along the sides of the manipulators as shown in the previous figure. When routing the wires, consider the possible movements of the manipulators and the movements of the camera or microscope. 4.

    Model 4210-MMPC-W Multi-measurement Prober Cable Kit Usage scenarios The following usage scenarios provide information on how to set up 2-pin and 4-pin I-V tests, 2-pin and 4-pin C-V tests, and pulsed I-V tests. I-V testing: 2-pin I-V setup The setup for 2-pin I-V testing requires two prober cable kits. To perform 2-pin I-V testing, connect two 4200-SMUs or 4210-SMUs to the prober bulkhead and then use the setup shown in the following figure as a guide to connect to the device under test (DUT).
  • Page 10 Model 4210-MMPC-W Multi-measurement Prober Cable Kit I-V testing: 4-pin I-V setup The setup for 4-pin I-V testing requires four prober cable kits. With four SMUs connected to the prober bulkhead, use the setup shown in the following graphic to perform 4-pin I V testing.
  • Page 11 Model 4210-MMPC-W Multi-measurement Prober Cable Kit C-V testing: 2-pin C-V setup The setup for 2-pin C-V testing requires two prober cable kits. With a CVU connected to the prober bulkhead, use the fundamental setup shown in C-V testing (on page 5) to perform 2-pin C-V testing.
  • Page 12 Model 4210-MMPC-W Multi-measurement Prober Cable Kit C-V testing: 4-pin C-V setup The setup for 4-pin C-V testing requires four prober cable kits. A typical test for a field effect transistor (FET) is to connect the drain, bulk, and source together and make the measurement across the gate.
