Overview
The Keithley Model 4210-MMPC-L multi-measurement prober cable kit provides a collection of matched
connection accessories. When properly installed, these accessories have the performance needed to 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. The components of this kit provide for a Lucas Signatone WaveLink
series prober and one of the following micropositioners: SP 100, SP 150, S 926, S 931, S 725, or CAP 946.
This document contains the following 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 top hat.
▪
Prober top hat to prober pin connections (basic setup): Explains how to make connections from the
prober top hat 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-L

  • Page 3 Model 4210-MMPC-L 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 Signatone prober before installing the prober cable kit. Connect the 4200A-SCS instruments to the triaxial jacks on the Signatone WaveLink series top hat. Refer to the following figure for an example.
  • Page 4 Model 4210-MMPC-L 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 top hat of the prober. 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.
  • Page 5 Model 4210-MMPC-L 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 top hat 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-L Multi-measurement Prober Cable Kit Pulsed I-V testing You can perform 2-pin pulsed I-V measurements using two prober cable kits and a Model 4225-PMU or 4220-PGU. The following figure shows the prober connections for a 4225-PMU or a 4220-PGU. This setup requires two prober cable kits.
  • Page 7 Model 4210-MMPC-L Multi-measurement Prober Cable Kit Prober top hat 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).
