Engineers usually have access to signal and function generators, as well as frequency counters and oscilloscopes, but they may not have access to capacitance or inductance meters. Using the test setup ...

The electron transport properties of graphene devices are critical to many applications, but our understanding of these properties is still incomplete, in spite of rapid advances in recent years. One ...

A capacitor measured with a $100 handheld multi-meter can give a substantially different result than the same capacitor measured with a $10,000 LCR meter. That same capacitor measured with two ...

Capacitive sensors are found in a wide range of equipment, from consumer electronics to industrial/process control. Touch buttons are increasingly found in lamps and dimmers. Motion detectors can ...

Over the past decade, demand for nano-electrical characterization has rapidly increased due to the continuous miniaturization of electronic devices. The semiconductor and microelectronics industries ...

An optimal way to determine an op amp's input capacitance. Steps involved in making the input-capacitance measurement. 1. With a series resistor at the op-amp input, the input capacitance of the op ...

During the manufacture of semiconductor wafers, thickness measurement forms an important part of this process, since it provides process engineers with the information required to ensure that ...
