Examples of other items and accessories to accompany S500 system:
1. Cables (from system to probe station)
2. 9139A probe card adapter
3. ACS (Automated Characterization Suite)
There are several options for system software within the S500.
1. Because the S500 includes the 4200-SCS Semiconductor Characterization system, the KTE Interactive
software within this product can serve as the system software. KTE Interactive includes Keithley User
Library Tool (KULT) which enables users to develop specific test modules, or serves as a means for
Keithley to provide system software customization.
2. For higher levels of automation or for S500 system software, Keithley can provide its Automated
Characterization Suite (ACS). Keithley refers to such systems comprised of ACS and various
instrumentation as “ACS integrated test systems”. These are highly configurable and flexible instrument-
based systems intended to work with semi-automatic and fully automatic probe stations for applications
such as semiconductor device characterization, wafer level reliability (WLR), parametric testing, and
component functional testing.
3. Users can also develop and manage their own system software.
Keithley Instruments can also supply various cables that interface to test fixtures such as wafer probers as well as a
probe card adaptor (PCA).
