Introduction
MeasureReady™ M91 FastHall™ Measurement Controller
1.9 Configuring
Measurements
A variety of measurement options are available to enable you to configure the
M91 FastHall™ measurement controller for best performance with your samples and
their characteristic properties. The firmware for the M91 can be updated using the
Ethernet connection on the M91, making it easy to keep the M91 up-to-date with the
latest firmware.
The high resistance option increases the resistance range from 10 M
)
to 200 G
)
. This
option is field-installable at any time.
1.9.1 Standard Input
Parameters
It is recommended that the following parameters be set to default, unless an experi-
enced user is operating the instrument.
D
Excitation Measurement Range: T
he excitation measurement range corresponds to
the range that measures the excitation. In most cases it is the same range as the
excitation range. Users should set this parameter to AUTO under typical cases.
D
Resistivity:
The resistivity parameter is required to run a FastHall™ or DC Hall
measurement if the user wants the mobility. Otherwise, the resistivity parameter
can be set to default, which omits the resistivity parameter. The results will then
omit the mobility calculations.
D
Field:
A FastHall™ or DC Hall measurement requires the value of the field the sam-
ple is subjected to during the measurement. Measure the field prior to running
the measurement. No field reversal is required. The entered field value will be
used for both +B and -B calculations.
D
Field Reversal:
This option is available to run a DC Hall measurement without field
reversal. This essentially runs “half” of the DC Hall measurement, up until the
field would be typically reversed. This option is available for customers who wish
to take anomalous Hall effect measurements, for example.
1.9.2 Advanced Input
Parameters
The following parameters can be used for in-depth measurement setup.
D
Sample to Minimum SNR:
The FastHall™ command allows the user to set their mini-
mum desired signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). The instrument will ramp up its sam-
pling until the user specified SNR is reached, or it will notify the user it cannot
reach the minimum SNR criteria. The user does not have to figure out how many
samples to take to meet their SNR criteria.
D
Blanking time:
The blanking time is the time the instrument waits before taking a
measurement on each sample point. High resistances require a longer blanking
time.
D
Voltage Compensation Samples:
This parameter relates to a FastHall™ measurement
and is only for users who have the high resistance option. The parameter allows
the user to specify the number of points to sample over when using voltage exci-
tation, to match the current measurements of the various contacts.
1.9.3 Mobility Range
Mobility is one of the most important and commonly derived electronic transport
properties measured in a Hall effect measurement system (HMS), as it is often directly
related to the material performance in an electronic device. The type of magnet field,
whether DC or AC, along with the integration of precision electronics and software
determines the low mobility range you will be able to measure in your HMS.
The M91 FastHall™ measurement controller combines the best of both DC and AC
field measurement capabilities, the result of which is the widest mobility range of any
commercially available HMS. For van der Pauw samples, the field reciprocity theorem
can be used to remove the requirement for field reversal. This can extend the mobility
range of the DC field measurements to as low as 0.001 cm
2
/(V s). For Hall bar samples
(where the field reciprocity theorem does not apply), traditional DC field methods can
be used for mobility to 1 cm
2
/(V s).
