Precise Measurement, Efficient Research — Keithley 2400 Series SourceMeter Helps You Break Through Test Bottlenecks

2025-04-29

In the current era of rapid development in electronic technology, researchers, engineers and manufacturers are facing unprecedented test and measurement challenges. High-precision, high-efficiency, multi-functional integrated test equipment has become the core demand of laboratories and production lines. Keithley 2400 Series SourceMeter (SMU) is exactly a professional solution designed to meet these stringent requirements.

Core Product Advantages

1. Four-quadrant precision source and measurement integrated design

The Keithley 2400 Series innovatively integrates six functions into one unit: precision voltage source, current source, digital multimeter, pulse generator, electronic load and trigger controller. This integrated design not only saves valuable laboratory space, but also greatly improves measurement accuracy by eliminating system errors caused by traditional multi-instrument connections.

2. Industry-leading measurement accuracy

  • Voltage measurement resolution up to 1μV

  • Current measurement resolution up to 10pA

  • Basic voltage measurement accuracy up to 0.012%

  • Basic current measurement accuracy up to 0.035%

With such excellent accuracy performance, the 2400 Series becomes an ideal choice for high-end applications such as semiconductor characterization analysis and nanomaterial research.

3. Wide test range meets diverse requirements

  • Voltage range: ±200V

  • Current range: ±1A (up to 10A in pulse mode)

  • Power range: 20W (model 2400) to 100W (model 2410)

Typical Application Scenarios

1. Semiconductor R&D and Testing

Keithley 2400 Series performs exceptionally well in the semiconductor industry, enabling accurate measurement of:

  • Transistor I-V characteristic curve

  • Diode forward/reverse characteristics

  • Program/erase characteristics of memory devices

  • On-resistance of power devices

2. Advanced Materials Research

For cutting-edge fields such as nanomaterials and two-dimensional materials, the pA-level current measurement capability provided by the 2400 Series can accurately characterize the electrical properties of materials, helping achieve breakthroughs in R&D of new materials.

3. Photovoltaic and New Energy Fields

Applications such as I-V characteristic testing of solar cells and performance evaluation of fuel cells can all benefit from the high-precision four-quadrant operation of the 2400 Series.

Customer Value

  1. Improved Efficiency: The integrated design reduces equipment connection time, improving test efficiency by over 50%.
