MICA Lab Adds Low Temperature Probe Station

NTW’s Mid-Infrared Characterization and Application (MICA) lab (located in Room 117) continues its buildout with the addition of a Lakeshore CRX6.5k cryogenic probe station (tool code PRB07) to provide low temperature device probing capability. Cooled by a closed cycle helium compressor the probe station supports measurements between 6.5K and 350K. The system is configured with four Triax probe arms and an optical fiber probe. Sample measurements can be made using a Keysight B1500A parametric device analyzer containing two SMUs, a ground unit, and a capacitance measurement unit. A Thorlabs four-channel fiber coupled laser (850nm, 1064nm, 1310nm, and 1550nm) is also available to provide excitation to the device under test.
