An ideal, affordable, general purpose tester.
The Precision LCII is Radiant's answer to a growing need for affordable characterization equipment. It is an ideal general-purpose tester with a broad test range for thin films and bulk ceramics, with a frequency rating of 5KHz at ±200V built-in to the system.
5KHz @ ±200V
Maximum hysteresis frequency
<10fC
Minimum charge resolution
18
Number of ADC bits
10kV
With an external amplifier and HVI
Precision LC II (bottom) with a High Voltage Interface (top).
Resolution and range
Using up to 32,000 points with 18-bit resolution from 2kHz out to 1/30th of a Hertz for capacitors ranging from square microns to square centimeters, the LC II enables high resolution characterization for bulk capacitors.
Built-in drive options
The Precision LCII is offered with a variety of internal amplifiers. The Precision LCII is offered in a ±10V, 30V, 100V, 200V, and 500V built-in drive volt option. The Precision LCII can be expanded to 10kV with the addition of a high voltage interface and amplifier.
Measurements without reconnecting
The Precision LCII executes hysteresis, pulse, leakage, IV, and CV (and many other tasks) measurements without changing sample connections. With the addition of extra fixtures, the Precision LCII can measure pyroelectric properties, magnetoelectric properties, transistor characteristics, cryogenic properties, bulk and/or thin film piezoelectric properties.

Accessories for the LC II
Accessories available for the Precision LC II Ferroelectric Test System.
Thermal Testing
Polarization and capacitance against temperature, with Vision controlling stages, chambers, hot chucks, and furnaces.
Piezoelectric Testing
Bulk ceramic fixtures and thin film bundles that capture displacement along with polarization.
Test Stations for Thin Films
RTI-30 and Simple Test Station probe stations for wafers and single die.
High Voltage Test Fixtures
Fixtures for testing bulk ceramics at high voltage, including the Teflon High Voltage Test Fixture.
Vision Software is included with every Precision test system.
Radiant’s Precision Line of Test Systems are driven by Vision Software, with a library of over 150 measurement, analysis, plotting, program control, and documentation tasks.
Combine tests in one run
Chain Hysteresis, PUND, Fatigue, and Leakage in one Test Definition instead of running one test at a time.
Control the environment
Set temperature over GPIB, set the field of a Quantum Design superconducting magnet, and query an LCR meter within the test.
Let the logic decide
Branch tasks repeat steps until a value reaches your threshold; If/Then and Exit tasks skip steps or end the run based on a measured value.
Nothing gets lost
Every run is archived with its Test Definition, so any experiment can be recalled or reproduced.
Documentation and support
The LC II brochure and the company brochure, plus the full knowledge base library.
