· Vector network analyzer (VNA) (Agilent E5062A)
A network analyzer is an instrument that measures the network parameters of electrical networks. Today, network analyzers commonly measure s–parameters because reflection and transmission of electrical networks are easy to measure at high frequencies, but there are other network parameter sets such as y-parameters, z-parameters, and h-parameters. Network analyzers are often used to characterize two-port networks such as amplifiers and filters, but they can be used on networks with an arbitrary number of ports.
• Signal generator (Agilent N9310A)
RF Signal generator is used to generate the RF signal. The frequency range of Signal generator is 9 KHz to 3 GHz. It has tow port output one is LF (Low frequency output) and RF (Radio frequency output).It has provide Maximum 4W power at the output.
• Spectrum analyzer (Agilent CSA Spectrum Analyzer)
A spectrum analyzer measures the power of the spectrum of known and unknown signals. The frequency range of Spectrum analyzer is from (100 KHz to 6 GHz). It gives the information of S-Parameters and power measurement of signal.
Sensors and Materials Lab:
The department possesses good research level facilities for thin film deposition processes. Vacuum evaporation and magnetron sputtering systems for metallization, ebeam evaporation system, photolithography setup are the important facilities available in the department in fabrication laboratory ( FAB Lab ). The FAB Lab has a fully equipped yellow room for optical lithography purpose. A plasma processing set up (Plasma Asher) are also available for material processing.
Magnetron sputtering system
Magnetron sputtering system is used for depositing piezoelectric thin films like PZT. Also other oxides and nitrides film can be deposited using specific material targets . It is also used for deposition of gold thin films for device applications.
Physical vapor deposition
Physical vapor deposition system is employed for mainly metallization applications. Metals used for contacts like Gold, Aluminum with a thickness of few 100s of nm can be deposited. Also other insulating materials like AlF3 and BaF2 and metal oxide materials can be deposited.
Plasma Asher
Plasma asher is available with facility of having plasma ashing in presence of oxygen/ inert gas plasma. The instrument is used for passivation of polymer films as well as surface modification of thin films using gas ion bombardment principle.
Photolithography set-up
Optical lithography set up is available with spin coater, exposure and oven arrangemnts. Device feature size upto 100 µm can be transferred in patterning applications.
