MPI Introduces Unique NoiseShield(TM) Option for 1/f (Flicker) & RTN Measurements

HSINCHU, Nov. 6, 2019 — (PRNewswire) — MPI introduced a new NoiseShield™ option, which provides excellent EMI-shielding, low impedance grounding and shortest possible cable lengths to reduce parasitic capacitance and to maximize the test system roll-off frequency. It reduces external magnetic field influences on the measurement results and makes the 1/f, RTN setup more robust and test lab location less-independent. It makes the probe station completely "invisible" and enables the measurement results down to the physical limit of the test instrumentation.

MPI’s NoiseShield™ is developed exclusively to deliver high customer value by reducing cost of test. It offers in combination with MPI ShielDEnvironment™ to provide unsurpassed EMI-Shielding for DUT and, the measurement instrument (such as pre-amplifier unit), all cables and connectors. The NoiseShield™ option provides shorter cable lengths to reduce parasitic capacitance to maximize the test system roll-off frequency. It also reduces external magnetic field influences on the measurement result

"The MPI NoiseShield™ is the next step in providing a high value solution for 1/f measurements." Said Toe Naing Swe, Director Device Modeling, at MPI Advanced Semiconductor Test Division. "In combination with the MPI ShielDEnvironment™, users can now experience excellent EMI-Shielding for not only device under test (DUT) and the measurement instrument (such as pre-amplifier unit of ProPlus 9812DX), it also includes all cables and connectors. The fully integrated solution also shortens the cables by placing the LNA very close to DUT. Installed on TS3500-SE with MPI WaferWallet®, customers can now perform, for the first time ever, unsurpassed fully-automated 1/f measurements. MPI SENTIO® Software Suite includes native drivers for the ProPlus Design Solutions product suite, such as BSIMProPlus™ and NoiseProPlus™, making such automation out of the box easy."

"The MPI prober is excellent and best I have ever worked with", said Dr. Zhihong Liu, CEO and Co-Founder of ProPlus Design Solutions Inc. "For noise measurement, it gives the best performance both in shielding and reduction in parasitics. With it, we are able to reach the limit of our system without trade-offs. Using the High Precision LNA in 9812DX, we can get to the floor noise of 3e-27 A^2/Hz with >20KHz bandwidth and accurately monitor the bias current down to pA level simultaneously. It can also measure down to 0.1Hz in the low frequency end without the introduction of mechanical vibration. Using the MPI prober, we also measured a MOSFET with 10MHz on-wafer bandwidth and the noise level is reaching to our Wideband LNA noise floor."
