<p style="margin: 0px;"><span lang="EN-US" style="margin: 0px;"><font face="Calibri" size="3">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!</font></span></p>
