Low-Leakage-Current Testing

The Low-Leakage Test requests a specific environment in order to minimize the current leakages and obtain reliable results. The environment will add to the probe station itsefl the following :
• Triax chuck and probe tips
• Dark box
• Specific connecting with low leakage cables...
Under these conditions it will be possible to measure your devices at very low currents (few fA) and possibly in temperature
