Optimized for parametric testing of component and discrete (packaged) semiconductor devices, ACS Basic Edition maximizes the productivity of technicians and engineers in research and development. The versatile architecture of this software allows it to meet the wide ranging and ever changing requirements of semiconductor device testing. It supports Keithley’s source and measure instrument products, including Series 2600B (not 2604B, 2614B, or 2634B), Series 2400, 2651A, and 2657A SourceMeter® SMU instruments.

This powerful, yet cost effective solution includes Keithley’s rich set of proven parametric libraries. Simply choose the desired test and begin running it to immediately start gathering data and analyzing it. Users also have the option of customizing any test with the embedded script editor.

•Designed for packaged devices (MOSFETs, BJTs, IGBTs, diodes, resistors, etc.)

•Rich set of test libraries for fast and easy test setup and execution without programming

•Built-in data analysis tools for quick analysis of parametric data

•Supports Keithley’s Series 2600B (not 2604B, 2614B, or 2634B), Series 2400, 2651A, and 2657A System SourceMeter SMU instruments

•FREE optional off-line version for developing test setups on a different PC

•Windows 10 compatible

The built-in data analysis tools allow users to quickly analyze the parametric data. For example, place device curves developed from newly collected data over “golden” curves for fast comparisons. To perform specialized calculations on raw data, use the mathematical formulator tool to create customized parameter calculations. Data can be easily saved in graphical and/or tabular formats.

ACS Basic offers three modes of operation:

•Single Test Mode—for single device, single test operations

•Multi Test Mode—for multiple test operations on a single device

•Trace Mode—for mapping out the operating range and characteristics of a semiconductor device while minimizing the risk of damage to it. This mode offers an interactive method of controlling the voltage level of

Trace Mode supports interactive testing of a device.
