CV / IV Analysis system

C-V / I-V Analysis Systems for Semiconductor R&D and Process Development

MDC Europe offers high-performance systems for advanced semiconductor device characterization. Our solutions cover essential measurements including CV (capacitance-voltage), IV (current-voltage), conductance, and gate oxide integrity. We specialize in providing precise doping and resistivity profiles, as well as mobile ion concentration (TVS) analysis. Our systems are fully customizable, integrating top-tier meters (Agilent, Keithley, HP) with specialized probing stations to monitor critical processing steps, detect contamination, and ensure material quality in both research and industrial environments.

Our Probes Solutions

Engineered for non-destructive C-V, I-V, and sheet resistance characterization. These systems are essential in R&D and process development where permanent metallization is not desirable or possible. They allow for rapid characterization, materials research, and early-stage device evaluation, providing a fast track to identifying furnace contaminants and epitaxial layer quality without damaging the wafer.

Precision temperature-controlled probing solutions designed to enable stable electrical measurements under defined thermal conditions (up to 400°C). The QuietChuck technology is specifically engineered to eliminate electrical noise and AC interference, making it ideal for sensitive temperature-dependent C-V / I-V analysis. These systems are the industry standard for mobile-ion monitoring (BTS tests) and gate oxide reliability workflows in demanding test environments.
