Capacitance Voltage Unit (CVU) Quick Start Guide

Overview

You can quickly begin using your Keithley Instruments Model 4210-CVU Capacitance Voltage Unit by following
the steps in this Quick Start Guide (QSG). For det ailed information about the 4210-CVU, refer to the Complete
Reference CD-ROM that came with your Model 4200-SCS S em i conductor Characterization System.

Follow the steps outlined below and detailed in the following pages to begin using your 4210-CVU:

• Step 1: Unpack your 4200-SCS.

• Step 2: Make basic system conn ect ions (power cord, keyboard, and optional printer).

• Step 3: Connect a test fixture to the 42 00-S CS (4210-CVU card preinstalled).

• Step 4: Power up and log on.

• Step 5: Start the KITE software and select the cv-cap test in the default project.

• Step 6: Define your test.

• Step 7: Run the cv-cap test.

• Step 8: View the data sheet.

• Step 9: View the graph.

• Step 10: Print and export data.

The example in this QSG uses the default project and runs t he cv-cap test. To select a different project or test,
you must modify the procedures as appropriate. Figure 1 shows the Keithley Interactive Test Environme nt
(KITE) window after the default project and cv cap t est are selected.

Model 4210-CVU Quick Start Guide

Step 1: Unpack your 4200-SCS

The box contains:

• 4200-SCS Semiconductor Cha racterization System, with the 4210-CVU card integrated into the mainframe.

How to lift the 4200-SCS:

• Lift from the bottom, not from the front bezel.

• Set it on a bench or install it in a rack using the optional slide rack-mounting kit.

• Keyboard with built-in pointing device

• Two triax cables for each source-measure unit (SMU)

• Four red SMA to SMA cables for the 4210-CVU

• Connectors: Four SMA to BNC adapters; 2 BNC tees

• Y-Cable: Use to connect the keyboard t o the mainframe

• Power cord

• Model 4200-SCS KTE Interactive CD-ROM

• Model 4200-SCS Complete Refer ence CD-ROM

Step 2: Make basic system connections (power cord, keyboard, and optional printer)

Basic system connections to the 4200-SCS (shown in Figure 2) include the keyboard (which has a built-in
pointing device), the supplied power cord, and an optional printer. If you are using a USB printer, connect it
to the USB port.

Plug the female end of the supplied power cord into the 4200-SCS. Do not connect the male
end to line power at this time. Steps 2 and 3 in this Quick Start Guide must be performed with
the line power disconnected.

Step 3: Connect a test fixture to the 4200-SCS (4210-CVU card preinstalled)

Figure 3 shows how to connect a BNC test fixture to the 4200-SCS. The red SMA cables and BNC
adapters are supplied with the 4210-CVU card.

Step 4: Power up and log on

1. Make sure the POWER switch is in the OFF (out) position. The POWER switch is on the front panel in the
lower right corner.

2. Plug the male end of the line cord into a properly grounded AC line power receptacle.

3. Turn on the 4200-SCS by pushing in the POWER switch to the ON (in) position.

4. At the KIUSER prompt, press ENTER. There is no password for this account.

When first starting a KTE Interactive software tool, you must answer "Yes" to an on-screen license
agreement. Answering "No" makes your system nonfunctional until you reinstall the software.
