Fine charge resolution for bulk and thin film capacitors.
The Precision Premier II is an advanced tester that has a large test envelope in terms of frequency response, voltage range, and accuracy. The Premier II has a fast hysteresis frequency rating of 250KHz at ±10V built-in to the system. The Premier II execute tests to 100 kHz below 10 Volts, making it useful for both bulk and thin film capacitors. The Premier II is capable of measuring thin ferroelectric film capacitors down to 0.1 square microns. Using up to 32,000 points with 18-bit resolution.

Built-in drive options
The Precision Premier II is offered with a variety of internal amplifiers. The Precision Premier II is offered in a ±10V, 30V, 100V, 200V, and 500V built-in drive volt option. The Precision Premier II can be expanded to 10kV with the addition of a high voltage interface and amplifier. The Premier II tester makes testing of thin films and bulk ceramics a fast and simple process.
Measurements without reconnecting
The Precision Premier II executes hysteresis, pulse, leakage, IV, and CV (and many other tasks) measurements without changing sample connections. With the addition of extra fixtures, the Precision Premier II can measure pyroelectric properties, magneto-electric properties, transistor characteristics, cryogenic properties, bulk ceramic and/or thin film piezoelectric properties.

* The minimum area resolution under actual test conditions depends upon the internal noise environment of the tester, the external noise environment, and the test jig parasitic capacitance.
** Maximum hysteresis frequency applies only to the internal amplifier purchased, and ratings are not cumulative. For example, a Premier II purchased with the ±500V amplifier is rated 2KHz @ 500V; it does not also have the 250KHz @ 10V or 50KHz @ 30V, 100V, and 200V ratings.
*** Tester specifications are subject to change without notice.

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 Premier II brochure and the company brochure, plus the full knowledge base library.
