[labnetwork] Hg probe

[John Watson]

Dear colleagues,

I’m looking into purchasing a table-top mercury probe setup for characterizing dielectric thin films on III-V semiconductors.  I’ve never used one of these tools before, but from the suppliers’ websites they seem like the perfect tool for the job – e.g. quick, non-destructive characterization via I-V and C-V with minimal/no fab required.  Do any of you have suggestions/real-world experience with these?  For instance, does the mercury droplet size inevitably start varying due to particulate contamination?  Do particular models have unexpectedly large stray capacitances or leaky mercury-containing lines, etc.?  Thanks in advance!



John
