What it is

The Nanometrics Accent HL 5500 PC is a Hall Effect Measurement System. The HL 5500 PC measures resistivity, carrier concentration, and mobility on semiconductors.[2][1]

How it works

The HL 5500 PC is a turn-key Hall Effect Measurement System. The HL 5500 PC can use samples with Van der Pauw, bar, or bridge shaped geometries. The HL 5500 PC uses software running on WinXP with a user friendly interface.[1]

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

Hall effect measurement systems are used after semiconductor films or structures have been formed and contacted so that electrical properties can be checked. Hall effect measurement systems fit in characterization flows for incoming material studies, process development, and post-process verification of electrically active layers.

Applications

The HL 5500 PC is used for measurement on a wide range of semiconductors.[1]
