Free Webinar Covers Basics of Low-Current Measurements

Live webinar Nov. 19 at 2 p.m. EST includes Q & A

(Keithley: Cleveland) -- Keithley is offering a free webinar on "How to Get the Most From Your Low Current Measurement Instruments," on Nov. 19 at 2 p.m. EST.

This seminar is designed to cover the the basics of low current (from nA to fA) electrical measurements, including how to select the right current measurement instrument, practical ways to reduce current noise in measurement setups, and how to quantify subtle sources of noise.

These measurement best practices are important for applications in semiconductor material/device characterization, nanoscience test and measurement, optoelectronic device characterization, and many more. Application examples where such sensitive measurements are required will be discussed, together with a discussion of recent innovative test equipment solutions.

After attending this seminar, you will understand:

  • Measurement techniques required for measuring very small currents
  • Sources of measurement error that will affect such low current measurements
  • Measurement solutions that can be used in low current measurement applications

About the presenter: Jonathan Tucker is the senior marketer for Keithley’s research and education business, and sensitive measurements product line manager. He joined Keithley in 1987 and has held numerous positions. Tucker holds a bachelor of electrical engineering degree from Cleveland State University and a master's degree from Kent State University.

Live broadcast at 2 p.m. EST, Nov. 19.

What: Web seminar, “How to Get the Most from Your Low Current Measurement Instruments.”  This informative 45-minute seminar is followed by an interactive question and answer session (during live broadcast only) where you can ask the presenter for additional insight on this important topic.

When: Thursday, Nov. 19, 2 p.m. EST

Who: This seminar is recommended for students, researchers, engineers, and scientists in areas such as materials science, chemistry, nanoscience, and semiconductor device development who wish to get a better understanding of low current electrical measurements.

How: Register today to reserve your place for this invaluable seminar.
