NoisePro is the turnkey hardware and software solution for the characterization and modeling of 1/f noise and thermal noise in advanced devices.

Noise is an unavoidable consequence of semiconductor technology. Its impact on circuit performance is significant in today's low-voltage, high performance, mixed signal, RF, deep submicron designs. Therefore the ability to accurately characterize noise becomes a fundamental requirement for design. Noise characterization is also important for monitoring semiconductor process qualities.

The 9812B and NoisePro wafer-level, low frequency noise characterization system provides as much as 100 times the productivity and throughput improvement over conventional methods. It is capable of measuring noise, monitoring the process quality and extracting flicker noise model parameters for circuit simulation. NoisePro software provides the noise modeling capabilities for MOSFETs, BJTs and other components.

In addition, the wafer level automatic flicker noise characterization system makes it possible to monitor the gate oxide without destroying any devices under test.
