Example of PLL measurement:
The equipment
available for use in the microelectronics laboratories, Texas A&M
University is summarized below. Measurement capabilities are stressed,
rather than specific equipment models. There exists facilities and
equipment for dicing wafers, die bonding and wire bonding. There are
several wafer probe stations for test; one with equipment for ultrasonic
cutting. Finally, there is a high performance microscope with a color
camera and monitor for visual inspection of IC chips.
In terms of actual test equipment, there are two
categories. First, there are multiple setups composed of the standard
laboratory equipment. These include high bandwidth oscilloscopes, power
supplies, multimeters, function generators, counters and related
equipment. The other category of test equipment is the automated data
acquistion system.
This system revolves around a PC, which serves as HPIB
instrument controllers. There are instrumentation and software for
performing several types of measurements. Gain/phase transfer functions
and impedance analysis may be performed over a wide range of frequencies,
from DC through 3 Ghz. Included in these measurements is a 3 Ghz HP
Network Analyzer with an @-parameter test fixture. Circuits or devices are
characterized by the r S-parameters from which other useful information
may be derived. Other measurement capabilities include spectrum analysis,
waveform digitization, highly precise measurement of small current
(10E-15) and voltage (10E-9) and measurement of noise down to frequencies
of 1 mHz.
