This seminar offers insight into electrical measurements required for nanotechnology, with examples given for carbon nanotube-based materials and electronics, molecular electronics, and materials. The sources of measurement uncertainty that affect such sensitive measurements will be discussed, together with a discussion of available test equipment solutions.

By participating in this seminar, you will learn and understand:

• Typical electrical measurements and connections made in nanotechnology research.
• Measurement techniques required for measuring low current, low resistance, and high resistance on nanoscale materials and electronics.
• Sources of measurement error that will affect measurements on nanomaterials and electronics.
• Measurement solutions that can be used in nanoscale applications.

This seminar is recommended for students, researchers, and scientists in areas such as materials science, chemistry, and biology who wish to get a better understanding of electrical measurements.

Jonathan Tucker, Lead Industry Consultant on Nanotechnology for Keithley Instruments, presents the seminar.
