Probe Station
Probe station can be used to pin small samples or devices and test their IV characteristics as well as CV characteristics.
In summer 2012 I set up the probe station in our lab. This includes:
1. Repair the lens, assemble the micromanipulators and repair the pumping part.
2. Install the NI-DAQ PCI-E card and connect the devices using GPIB.
3. Connect all the wires for the meters and the probestation.
4. Develop a program for IV measurement using LabView SignalExpress.
5. Develop a program for CV measurement using Matlab.

Result
I lost most of the photos of assembling and tests. We use Labview SignalExpress to do IV measurements and Matlab to do CV measurement. Above is the IV characteristic of a MOSFET. We can clearly see its linear region and saturation region.
