CheckMate Analytical Probe Stations — Signatone equipment for DC / CV-IV probing

The story

DC parametric and CV-IV measurements are the bedrock of device characterization. The challenge is signal integrity at the floor — low-level leakage and stable capacitance reads on devices that fight noise on every contact.

A CheckMate or S-1160 station with TRX triaxial probe holders gets you to roughly ±2 fA in a shielded environment; SCA coaxial probes handle low-level signals below 10 fA. Add the PSDB dark box for light-sensitive measurements.

Signatone stations interface directly with the Keysight B1500 / B1505 family, Keithley parameter analyzers, and legacy HP / Agilent instrumentation.
