This page intentionally left blank.

When a device under test (DUT) is measured, a test fixture must be used to connect the instrument to the DUT. A test fixture is an interface specifically designed to connect the instrument and the contact tips of the DUT.

1. What are Agilent Accessories?

Agilent offers a variety of accessories suitable for many applications. They are designed to make measurements simple and reliable. For example, a mechanically and electrically precise test fixture is required to measure the impedance of SMD components. For this measurement, Agilent offers dedicated SMD fixtures for impedance measurement instruments that minimize the measurement errors. Also, specially designed fixtures for other specific applications (such as DC bias test, dielectric material test, and others.) are available. Agilent accessories facilitate a shorter time-to-market with increased confidence by providing accurate and repeatable measurements.

2. Types of Accessories

Agilent accessories can be divided into the following five categories:

Test Fixtures

A test fixture is used to hold the electronic components or materials (physically and electrically) for the measurements. Agilent offers various kinds of 4-Terminal Pair test fixtures and 7 mm test fixtures. Some of them connect directly to the measurement instrument, while others require adapters.

Test Leads

Test leads are used to extend the measurement ports from the UNKNOWN terminals of the instrument to the DUT. Using a flexible test lead, a DUT that cannot be held with test fixtures can be measured regardless of its size or shape. The test leads can also be used as cable extensions when the test sample is located away from the measurement instrument.

Probes

Probes are helpful in measuring components which are already connected to PC boards or have one terminal grounded. The probes shown in this selection guide have a wide frequency range and are simple to use.

Adapters

Adapters are used to adapt the dedicated circuits between the instrument and the test fixtures. The 16085B is a terminal conversion adapter that can convert a 4-Terminal Pair configuration to a 7 mm configuration. The 16065C is an external DC bias adapter that can apply DC bias to the DUT from an external DC bias source.

Others

Also available are DC bias accessories and performance test equipment.

Introduction

3. The Benefits of Agilent Accessories

Each accessory is designed to ensure highly accurate measurements without degrading the performance of the measurement instrument.

– Minimum residual error preserves the accuracy of the measurement instruments. – Clearly defined error compensation allows easy calculation of error corrections. – Strict measurement specifications, such as test frequencies and signal levels provide safe and accu-

rate measurements.

This document introduces a group of Agilent accessories that are well suited for the following measurement instruments:

4. ISO 9000 Quality Management

ISO 9000 is a set of international standards for quality management and quality assurance. These standards were developed with the goal of documenting and implementing effective quality systems within companies. ISO standards are consistent with Agilent’s quality system; in fact, the standards within Agilent Technologies’ Quality Maturity System (QMS) exceed the intent of ISO 9000.

Introduction

The following topics comprise a helpful guideline for selecting an appropriate accessory for the measurement instrument to be used.

1. Selection By Measurement Application

Agilent accessories can be used in a wide variety of measurement applications. These applications range from basic measurements (such as impedance measurements for discrete devices) to advanced measurements (such as measurement of resistivities or dielectric constants.)

2. Compatibility with Measurement Instruments

Test fixtures/leads are compatible with the measurement instruments when they have the same type of terminal configuration and useable measurement frequency range. The measurement instruments described in this guide are divided into the following four categories based on frequency.

Tips for Selecting Appropriate Accessories

Frequency Up to 110 MHz Up to 3 GHz Range (Terminal Configuration: 4-Terminal Pair) (Terminal Configuration: 7 mm)

Measurement 4192A, 4194A, 4263A/B, 4268A, 4291A/B, 4294A + 42942A, 4395A Instruments 4278A, 4279A, 4284A, 4285A, 4288A, w/Opt.010 + 43961A, 4396A/B w/Opt.010

4294A

+ 43961A, 4286A, 4287A, E4991A Any 4TP instruments (excluding 4294A) + 16085B

Frequency DC (High Resistance Measurement) 1 kHz (Milliohm Measurement)

Measurement 4339A/B, 4349A/B 4338A/B Instruments

3. Frequency, DC bias, and operating temperature/humidity

Each of the Agilent accessories has its own specific operating range. Any measurement performed outside this range can increase residual errors and can cause problems. Be sure that your measurement environment fits the accessory’s specific operating range. In the case of humidity, Agilent’s accessories can operate at a relative humidity of 95% or less at 40°C. (These same requirements apply to most LCR Meters and Impedance Analyzers.) When the ambient temperature is not approximately 40°C, use an accessory that has no condensation on its surface.

4. DUT (Device Under Test) dimensions

The DUT can vary from chip components, axial/radial leads, or ICs to general electrical devices. Select a test fixture/lead that is suitable for the shape and size of your components or materials.

5. Open & short repeatability and proportional error

Since a test fixture induces an additional error when measuring, the total measurement error is the sum of the measurement instrument’s measurement accuracy and the fixture’s additional error. Generally, a test fixture’s additional error consists of three terms: open repeatability, short repeatability and proportional error. Open and short repeatability exhibit the error factors of the open and short residual impedances which affect the measurements of extremely high and low impedances respectively. Proportional error exhibits the error factor, which is proportional to the size of the impedance being measured. For more details on this subject, please see the Appendix.

6. Furnished accessories

Each test fixture is shipped with a manual and various other accessories needed for measuring. For example, the 42941A impedance probe kit is furnished with a pin probe, 4 adapters (BNC-SMB), 3 spare pins, a carrying case and an operation and service manual.

Tips for Selecting Appropriate Accessories

7. T erminal Adapters

Terminal Adapters convert the instruments terminal configuration into a 7 mm terminal configuration. This means that instruments that do not have a 7 mm terminal connector can use test fixtures with a 7 mm terminal connector. The 16085B converts a 4-Terminal Pair configuration into a 7 mm terminal connector. The 42942A does the same as 16085B, but can only be used with the 4294A.

Electrode configuration for 16043A/B contact board

Compensation and Measurement:

Before measurement, a device guide, which is fabricated to fit the DUT’s size must be prepared. A pre-fabricated device guide is furnished and the method of preparation is described in the operation manual. The contact board and the device guide must be connected to the 16043A/B. This is easily accomplished by using the furnished guide pin and screws. For highly precise measurements, it is recommended to perform open and short compensation. Open compensation is performed, by placing nothing between the high and low terminals of the contact board. For short compensation, short the high and low terminals and do not contact the G terminal with the short bar. It is necessary to construct a short bar, which matches the DUT’s size. The following figures show how compensation and measurement are performed.

Test fixture overview

Performing short compensation

The sliding mechanism of the 16043A allows the measurement of the load capacitors, by sliding the DUT and the device guide to the next electrode on the contact board. It is necessary, to raise the pressure arm before the DUT is moved.

1. Place the short bar on the electrodes. Make sure that the short bar does not connect the G terminal.

2. Lower the pressure arm to hold the short bar in place.

3. Perform short compensation data measurement.

1. Align the DUT with the device guide and place it on the contact board.

2. Lower the pressure arm to hold the DUT in place.

3. Adjust the contact pressure using the pressure regulating screw.

4. Measure.
